Kingston Maurward Chalk Pit

A very productive geoconservation session clearing Kingston Maurward Chalk Pit, thanks to the help of staff and students from the Rural Business and Heritage Land Management programme at Kingston Maurward College. Also, managed to cut back some of the encroaching scrub from above the chalk pit face,

Holt Farm Quarry

We had a curtailed conservation session at Holt Farm Quarry today due to rain from about midday. Four members of the DIGS group carried out some tidying. It wasn’t in too bad condition, a lot of moss on the rock face plus autumnal leaf fall and fallen branches.
Thanks to the two Geoffs and Giles for helping.

Geoff Pettifer and I also visited Evershot Pit and that is in need of some TLC!
