Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers. Friday, 21 February 2014. Winter at Hill Court Farm. The Hill Court Farm reserve is a wetland reserve, but even here I don't think we've ever seen it quite as wet! This was the view last week, showing just how flooded some of the fields have become -. As for our intrepid volunteers, we have spent the winter clearing, coppicing and laying a long length of hedgerow which, as we've slashed, chopped and sawn away, has seemed an almost destructive task at times. If yo...

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers. Wednesday, 27 November 2013. Hedge laying at Hill Court Farm. Last month members of the Hill Court Farm volunteer work party got stuck into the task of clearing / laying / coppicing a long length of hedgerow. The weather was kind to us and in our beautiful location, surrounded by bird song and watched (rather suspiciously! By rabbits we had a great day. Massive thanks to all those who helped! Clearing the hedge ready for laying. Sara, Hill Court Farm warden.

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers. Tuesday, 22 October 2013. Creating ponds at Hill Court Farm. When our family moved out of town and into the countryside 10 years ago I didn't fully appreciate how much I would love living close to Worcestershire Wildlife Trust's Hill Court Farm and The. Reserve. It has enhanced my enjoyment of countryside living immensely to be able to watch the wildlife attracted to the Reserve and observe some of it spilling over into. Fields and even our own garden. Now eighte...

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers: Hedgerow success at Hill Court Farm!
http://worcestershirewildlifetrust.blogspot.com/2014/03/hedgerow-success-at-hill-court-farm.html
Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers. Friday, 21 March 2014. Hedgerow success at Hill Court Farm! At the start of the Winter volunteering season we had one, long, unruly hedgerow, choked by brambles and looking very sorry for itself. The Hill Court Farm volunteers have slashed, chopped, sawn and dug away and the result is a hedgerow that can breathe, with lots of newly planted trees, which will offer a fantastic habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. So if you'd like the opportunity to experience s...

Thursday, 20 November 2014. Autumnal Highlands With The New Canon 7D Mk2. Next time we'll fly up" was what (Wildlife) Kate and I said to Andy and Lyndsey Howard as we bid farewell to them both, and considered the eight hour drive back to the Midlands after a few days spent in and around Inverness. But what a wonderful break we had enjoyed, packed with wildlife, fun and photography of course, all set against the Scottish Highlands. Perhaps he's the Pied Piper Of Cresties? Keeping low to the ground, we wat...
