Council encourages nature on the Cliff Top

New Forest District Council have made the announcement below that they will be working on the Cliff Top to encourage nature:

Over the next few weeks, you may spot our open spaces team working on and around the Milford on Sea cliff top.

We will be removing some plants and shrubs, and cutting grass in the area, where necessary. More plants and shrubs will be planted soon, as well as new wildflower areas.

We are doing this work to encourage nature to thrive, and to prevent the spread of invasive species, such as brown-tail moth caterpillars.

Brown-tail moth caterpillars usually appear in the spring. If you spot any, please do not touch them, as they can cause an itchy rash, and occasionally breathing difficulties like asthma.
