What to bring

Wear sturdy footwear and clothing suitable for the conditions. The planting area can get wet so wellies will be needed if it rains. You may wish to bring sun protection, insect repellent and/or waterproofs depending on the weather. 

The walk to site is along a track and the work site in a grass field. 

There are no toilets or other facilities at the reserve.
