Dorchester nature reserve to undergo improvements
A number of improvements are set to be made to a nature reserve in Dorchester, as soon as the weather is suitable for them to be carried out.
The work that is scheduled to be performed at the Riverside Nature Reserve is being described as a ‘haircut’. It will involve bringing some of the trees at the site down, as well as re-pollarding and cutting back some others. The trees that are due to be felled are ones that have Ash Dieback disease, making the job necessary for the public safety of the nature reserve.
Dorchester Town Council will be in charge of the work and the authority is stating that it will safeguard the site for the future. It is also intended to allow more natural light to penetrate the reserve. This will improve the quality of life for those living alongside it, close to London Road.
Local sites of interest to visitors like this nature reserve are often advertised through the use of brochure printing from shops in Dorchester. This allows visitor centres to stock brochures informing people of what the town has to offer.
Carl Dallison, a town clerk, has indicated that it will be a minority of trees that are felled. Only those deemed at risk of collapse will be chopped down.
The work is expected to happen before the end of winter.
