| A visit to Cleaver Heath |
Some members of Wirral Wildlife committee and Cleaver Heath managers visited Cleaver Heath on 4th August to see the restoration work that was started last spring.
An area dominated by bracken and gorse was scraped back to mineral soil, using funding raised by Woodchurch High School and our own fund-raising. Since then the volunteers have been working hard to remove remaining bracken roots.

In the photo above the nearest part to the camera has been cleared, but the further part needs work.
More volunteers to help would be much appreciated - please email info@wirralwildlife.org.uk if you would like to help.
Habitat restoration is a slow business, but we hope in a few years’ time the cleared area will look more like the top area of the heath, shown below.
