FRIENDS OF JOHN MUIR COUNTRY PARK

Posted on November 12, 2012 by kate

Friends of John Muir Country Park are a voluntary group for people who are interested in wildlife conservation. The group meets monthly to carry out various practical maintenance and habitat management work on the site.
This month the group will be undertaking sea buckthorn management. Sea buckthorn is a spiky shrubby plant that can be seen throughout the county and which especially likes coastal sites. It is not considered to be a native plant of East Lothian, and if it is left unmanaged can outcompete other species and take over a site. The group will be cutting back some of the sea buckthorn in order to keep on top of the new growth.
The next Friends of John Muir Country Park work day is scheduled for Saturday 24th November, 10am-1pm. Meeting in Linkfield car park.
For more information please contact Katy Green on kgreen2@eastlothian.gov.uk or call on 07779036230
