Last week, Richard returned to the RSPB site at The Lodge in Sandy to learn more about their work and their plans for the future.
Richard Fuller MP said:
The Lodge is the home to the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire and houses a number of rare species such as Nightjars, Ravens, and Natterjack Toads.
During a walk around the site I was pleased to learn more from Peter, the Site Manager, about the exciting plans coming up at the Lodge including expansion onto a recently acquired field once the soil quality can be restored, and the return of the ever-popular Dartmoor Ponies for their Summer Vacation to Sandy. I was also interested to learn about the tree management that happens on site including the handling of a number of tree-specific diseases and the efforts to remove invasive foreign-trees in favour of our native oaks and birches.
