Rejoining the Luton and Dunstable Conservation Volunteers after a bit of an unintentional break we were working today on the Warden Hill Meadow, a grassland nature reserve on the edge of Luton.

Parts of the meadow had clumps of scrub tree growth, mostly hawthorn and blackthorn which is left unchecked would rapidly spread across the meadow.

We took saws and loppers to the clumps of scrub to reduce their size, leaving a landscape of grassland with a few trees dotted around. Perfect for ensuring that the grassland and the rare species that depend on it is preserved!
