What a better way to spend my birthday than being out in the damp drizzle that was Pembrey Burrows LNR.
Wednesday = volunteer day, the day when our little team meet to spend the day being useful, doing all those conservation management jobs that just would probably not get done, most days I am on my own so having other like-minded folk to talk too makes a change, cattle are not great conversationalists!!!!!
My previous posts have highlighted the plight of "The Strandline Beetle", today we made great progress in the mitigation plan to attempt to slow their decline.
The idea is to place 1m long logs with chainsaw cuts made along the length to provide a safe cwtch for the beetle to hide in.

First cut down your tree and cut it to length

| Gather your logs |

| Cut the cwtch |

| The finished logs, waiting to be positioned in the spring |
Its too soon to put the logs on the beach/embryo dunes but when we do I'll post an update.
