Summary: 
Join us for some practical habitat management of the nature reserve for one of our flagship species. We will be working on improving the habitat for lapwing, a wading bird that uses the wetlands and adjacent field for breeding.

We will be clearing scrub from around the reserve to reduce perching places for aerial predators and allow the lapwing chicks easier access to the wetlands.
