Notes
A big thank you to John Crispin, RSPB volunteer, for showing us around The Ham Wall
reserve. We saw areas of consavation that are not normally accessible to the
general public plus a comprehensive narrative of the work being carried out and
the thinking behind the habitat management in this beautiful reserve.
