Stockland

One purpose of our work, particularly on Bucehayes and Quantock Commons, has been to regain areas of heath and mire by clearing birch scrub and alternating light summer grazing with an occasional winter burn (or swale). To what extent have we been successful and what has been achieved? Some while ago, an MSc student from Bristol University had confirmed that swaling and grazing had decreased sward height and had opened up boggy places between tussocks of Purple Moor-grass on Bucehayes and, to a lesser extent, on Quantock.

The Stockland Annual Parish Meeting will be held on Tuesday May 21 at 8pm followed by a defibrillator demo.
