A hands-on volunteering opportunity to help Ranger Roger, and our friends from Mersey Rivers Trust, maintain / improve the heathland habitat on the slopes of Tegg's Nose Country Park.

We'll be selectively 'bashing' areas of bracken with wooden stales to stop it from shading out the heather and bilberry.

Booking in advance is essential. Suitable for anyone over the age of 12.

Please note that the work site is on a steep slope which is only accessible by walking from the top of the park. This activity is physically challenging but there will be plenty of opportunities for breaks.

Time: 10am to 3pm

Meeting point: Tegg's Nose Country Park Visitor Centre, Buxton Old Road, Macclesfield, SK11 0AP

Leader: Bollin Valley Partnership Ranger Roger Brereton and Mersey Rivers Trust
