New interpretation boards have been located at the DIGS site at Portesham Farm. The boards were designed by one of our members and printed by Lamart in Dorchester.

Portesham Farm is part of one of our geological walks accessible through our ‘Beneath our Feet’ walks leaflets.

We carried out conservation sessions at our Hardown Hill site, Morecombelake in July and August and cleared the rock face. In collaboration with the Hardown Society and the National Trust we hope to place an information board on the site in due course.

We had a successful session at Poxwell today due to the help of two friends who are skilled climbers.

They removed overhanging vegetation on the main rock face so it is much clearer and likely to remain clear for a while rather being progressively obscured.

The rest of the work party cleared vegetation and watched Dave and Paul working! The three pictures show the start, then the climbers in action and finally the finished view.

There is still more to do but it was decided that the south facing face is too difficult to clear even from above.
