Blackburn Meadows

16th December 2007

We regularly do work at Blackburn Meadows which is a nature reserve up near Tinsley. Most years we work with the Sheffield Rangers (or to give them their full title "Sheffield City Council Parks and Countryside Rangers") to remove Willow from the Bird Sanctuary as it is preventing Birds from landing at the site.
