He has seen significant growth of new heather seedlings across the burnt areas of Cleaver recently, following the fire in August last year.

There is also some new heather growth within the experimental regeneration area that was cleared by contractors last year (reported on February 4th).

Let's hope the new heather can compete successfully with the birch and gorse seedlings which are unfortunately also growing vigorously!
Cleaver Heath was also a focal point at Cool Heswall in May. John had a selection of plants that grow at Cleaver Heath to show visitors.
