Buddleia and Elder Cutting

It is important to cut the beautiful buddleia bushes on the nature reserve down to size every few years, so that they produce plentiful flowers for the butterflies to use in the summer. Over-enthusiastic elder saplings also need the chop to prevent them overtaking the woods.  Come along today and lend a hand.
