๐ PUBLIC NOTICE
After the severe weather over the weekend from storm Darragh, there is significant damage and debris across parts of Cothelstone Hill.
Our Rangers will be out clearing the site over the next few days, so please be cautious and mindful of any work being done.
As the nights draw in, motorists are being urged to be #DeerAware to avoid collisions with animals on rural roads. There are an estimated 74,000 deer related traffic collisions across the UK every year, with the risk increasing during the autumn ๐ฆ
