Works, Parties and Dates

Work Parties

Work parties are generally held on the third Saturday in the month from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.

Meet in the car park outside Petersfield Rugby Club, Penns Place at 9:30 am, or find the work party on the Rotherlands site.

Thank you all who have helped in the 2011 work parties your work is never forgotten.

Dates for your Diary for 2012

• Coming soon, keep checking this page

The Rotherlands Conservation Group Committee would like to extend its sincere thanks to all those who participate in these workparties, as without their continued and enthusiastic support, the Rotherlands site would soon revert back to the wild and unruly state it was in, in 1998.

Plan of Works

• Working to the Management Plan, we will:
• Control the brambles and scrub;
• Keep the footpath clear throughout the year;
• Restore the riverside meadows;
• Open up the ponds;
• Manage the wet woodlands;
• Create protected areas to provide habitat for water voles and otters;
• Survey and monitor flora and fauna;
• Arrange fund raising activities and apply for grants to cover the cost of specialised work.
