Another visit to Crabtree Hill as there is a large area to clear of small trees and gorse in order to create heathland and space for heathers. The weather was beautiful although the ground was really sodden from the recent rains. There is an article in the magazine of the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust November 2006 describing Woorgreens Lake and Crabtree Hill.Eight years ago Crabtree Hill was growing conifers and only small patches of heathland vegetation remained along the ride sides, but in 1998 the Forestry Commission removed the first area of conifers and the ground was prepared to help restore the site back to its former glory. Long term plans include an increase in the open area as more conifers are removed and the site returns to a mix of heathland, acid grassland, wet boggy areas and open pools and ponds.
