A huge thank you to the dedicated group of Thetisians who volunteered this past weekend at the invasive species pull at Fairyslipper Forest! With your help, we made significant progress in removing Scotch broom around the Nature Reserve and tackled the last remaining patches of English holly.
Managing invasive species on our properties is crucial for supporting local biodiversity and maintaining healthy ecosystems. It also plays a key role in reducing fire risk, as many invasive plants are highly flammable and can worsen fires by creating dense, hazardous understory growth.
To further protect the Nature Reserve from invasive species, we encourage our neighbouring properties to monitor and manage invasive plants on their land. Every effort counts!
Thanks again for your hard work and commitment to preserving the beauty of our community.
Wishing everyone a wonderful spring!
Warm regards,
Charlotte,
