- On several occasions since 2000, the privately-owned field adjacent
to the nature reserve has suffered from an encampment of travellers.
Sometimes these travellers spill over into the reserve which causes damage
to the hedgerows and planted trees and shrubs.
- Whether they encamp in
the reserve or not, the travellers’ visits
usually result in bird and bat boxes being smashed up, as well as unpleasant
rubbish building up to varying degrees – depending on how long
it takes to evict them!
- We can only hope that the neighbouring landowner’s
attempts to secure his site will be effective in keeping them out in
future.
