A grant of £840 from Central Bedfordshire Council has enabled the purchase of new equipment which has allowed the Bedfordshire reserves team to better equip their fantastic groups of volunteers when out on regular work parties, doing amazing work helping look after the 25 nature reserves across Bedfordshire.
All this new equipment - three brushcutter harnesses, shove holers (used for digging holes for fence posts), fencing pliers, chisels, mallets, a chisel sharpener and 15 pairs of gloves - means that more volunteers can learn brushcutting skills and fencing installation.
