Roadside Nature Reserves Volunteering Update
Roadside Nature Reserve Teams Update - Beth Pateman
RNR survey season is now over, I don’t think we had many days where we weren’t rained on, still great to be out on the RNRs enjoying the flora and fauna. We also had our RNR summer social at the end of June, where we got a guided walk from Will Moreno around the Silverland Estate vineyards in Luddesdown. The estate is vast, and it was really encouraging and interesting to see all the land they are managing for wildlife. This week we also had a social summer walk in east Kent guided by the lovely Nina Jones who is the protected area warden for Sandwich and Pegwell Bay. She talked to us about the wildlife you find there and the threats they face, including the harbour seals which we managed to see from a great viewing point. Soon we’ll be starting the cutting season, which I’m looking forward to, hopefully September isn’t too hot!
