GENERAL PROJECT

CURRENT WEATHER

3°C

Castle Eden Dene, Peterlee

The work will necessitate the removal of trees including non-native conifers that were planted in the reserve in the 1970s. The work is planned to maximise benefits for wildlife, including songbird species such as long tailed tit and chiff chaff and invertebrates such as the rare dingy skipper by reshaping the natural environment.

I wanted to take this chance to wish all of you following this project a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I will be in touch again after the New Year to let you know the progress of a few of the outstanding items out at Castle Eden Dene. For example, we will be back in March or April to begin the process of weed control and ensuring that the limestone meadow becomes established. We look forward to seeing this one through and having the Dene back in top top condition.
