Bell heather and birch scrub, East Ramsdown
Bell heather and birch scrub, East Ramsdown
This sandy slope has been cleared of its planted pines and is being restored to heathland. It is managed by the Herpetological Conservation Trust (HCT), who are obviously interested in the lizard populations on the heath. The area has been sprayed to eliminate bracken, and here silver birch saplings are springing up. The bell heather on the path is in bloom, and heather on the heath in the distance is flowering too.
