Volunteers have been helping out with conservation and management tasks at a north Norfolk beauty spot.

The sessions at Holt Country Park began before the pandemic and resumed in June, with volunteers spending Wednesday mornings at the Green Flag site.

They have been busy assisting the rangers in habitat management, wildlife surveys, woodland conservation and even building new natural features, including an amphibian pond, into the woods.

With only three full time rangers and a number of sites to look after, the volunteer sessions, called Muddy Boots, give the team the extra bodies which are required to keep the sites at the standards required.

North Norfolk District Council has extended the sessions to Pretty Corner Woods (fortnightly) and Sadler’s Wood (last Thursday of the month).
