UPDATE: Again, because of the snow we have had to cancel the trip.
On Sunday 18th March we will be going to Berrow Dunes in Somerset. BUCG has been going there yearly to help Sedgemoor District Council preserve the dunes and wetlands in the area. If you would like to join us on this seaside trip please email Heather by 7pm on Thursday 15th March – places are limited.
We are going to the beach! On Sunday 19th March we willl be clearing sea buckthorn and planting native shrubs in Berrow Dunes, a SSSI by the Bristol channel.
We will leaving Bristol around 9:00-9:30am and return around 5-6pm. Please email Ollie by 7pm on Wednesday 15th March if you’d like to come.
Update: After a rainy start (and going to the wrong car park) the sun come out to provide some great weather. We demolished and burnt plenty of sea-buckthorn. A few of us employed an unconventional tactic of crawling into the undergrowth to cut from within. We had time for a short walk across the beach to the sea and then toasted marshmallows over the dwindling bonfire. Upon are return to Bristol we stopped by at the new Union bar.
On Sunday 8th March we will being going to Berrow Dunes, just south of Weston-super-Mare. There we will be clearing sea-buckthorn by the beach. More information about Berrow Dunes can be found here.
If you would like to go please email Jess by 6:00pm on Sunday 1st March. Bear in mind places are limited so if the trip is oversubscribed people will be picked at random. You will be emailed to let you know if you have got a place. Note that you do need to be a BUCG member to attend (you can join at our UBU page. It’s only £5 for the year!).
