Project Description

The Othona community own a 2ha SNCI relict calcareous grassland site, surrounded by SSSI and SNCI grassland in the Bexington Coast Landcape Character Area. This grant would fund scrub removal days on the 3 SNCI blocks to push back encroaching native and non-native scrub to extend area of grassland and improve connectivity. It would also enable Othona to involve more people in learning about and managing the grassland via running volunteer days and purchasing suitable equipment so they can continue this volunteer involvement into the future.
