A big broom bashing session today at The Triangle! Our volunteers worked so hard, the heather will be forever grateful!

[DynamicDunescapesSefton @DunesSefton]

Another before and after photo from our volunteer session today at The Triangle!
We removed some broom today as well, which was much more challenging!
Hope everyone has a good weekend - head to the site and jump on iNaturalist to record any wildlife you see there 🦋🐝🌸

🦋 Our north Devon team spotted a very exciting butterfly last week!

This clouded yellow butterfly made an uncommon appearance in Braunton Burrows, after making its way from Europe for the breeding season.

Thank you to Rupert from @Love_plants for the photo!

[DynamicDunescapesSefton @DunesSefton]

We chose the best day for another birch pulling session today and we even did a butterfly survey in the middle - very productive! 🦋☀️

Thank you to our volunteers who clambered through thickets of gorse to get the job done 🙏

As a bonus, we found 4-5 different shield bugs!

[Plantlife @Love_plants]
