The Chairman reports on the Open Meeting held on site on April 11, 2013

 A total of 7 people turned up, including a new local resident, John Cartmell.

We had a gentle walk around the site, and discussed the work done during the last year and the plans for the next years as directed in the new Management Plan.

There was general agreement with the proposals, including the possibility of grazing if funds become available through a Higher Level Stewardship scheme.

It was agreed that a work day would be held when the foliage has developed further.

The Chalara Management Plan for England is an updated version of Defra's interim Chalara Control Plan published in December 2012.
