Volunteers clear up wildlife haven
VOLUNTEERS rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into a big clear-up of Daniels Brook to help make the Tuffley beauty spot a haven for wildlife.
People from the community signed up to the Conservation for Volunteers scheme, backed by the city council. Team leader Theresa Watt said: "Kingfishers, nesting blue tits and birds of prey are in the area so it is important it is maintained."

“Apothegm_ - in nature brook flooding is great for creating wetlands with its unique mix of flora and fauna. Nature balances out what it wannts and does not want - these people want picture-perfect nature in their own image.”

“I suspect that part of the benefit of their work would be to reduce the possibility of the Brook flooding, by clearing Stuff from the channel.
And, yes, wildlife DOES need a helping hand by maintaining habitats in the way which enables them to flourish. Endless examples available by Googling!”

“Do wildlife really need man's helping (meddling) hand? Ecologic balance is achieved by leaving nature alone - not beautifying it.”
