Mini Beast Safari

Tuesday, September 14th 2010

Some of the pupils from the Dales School went on a mini-beast safari along the Beck today. They are learning about invertebrates as part of their curriculum this term and will be visiting Foxglove every week to compare different habitats.

Meanwhile, Rape seed chaff from a local farm was bagged by the volunteers ready for the winter. This is used to feed the birds in the large wooden hoppers. Work also continued weeding the Heathland and the final mowing and strimming of paths and net rides took place.

23 Speckled Wood butterflies were counted along the butterfly transect. These were making the most of the sunny spells!
