Hightown Layby Work 2017

You may have noticed Southern Gas Network doing some maintenance works along the road on Hightown Hill.
 

We would like to use the New Forest soil arisings from any digging they do to infill the lay by along the road, thereby returning this 0.01ha area of gravel back to the Forest, increasing the coverage of heathland plant species, benefitting grazing for livestock and wildlife in the local area.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss this work,
 

Many thanks,
