No.3 Bed Footpaths

To provide a better environment for the butterflies on the Reserve, the path around No.3 bed will not be cut until a date in May this year. This is to enable growth of our wild flowers and plants to support them in the early season. As the weather warms up and the growth increases please be aware the vegetation will be longer and when damp perhaps stouter footwear would be more suitable.
