Birch bashing season SHORTER days can only mean one thing on Wharncliffe Heathland Nature Reserve – the birch bashing season is here again. Birch bashing is a crucial part of the management of the heathland. Young birch trees are cut back on a part of the reserve every autumn to prevent a dense woodland developing and shading out the heather that dominates the heathland habitat.
WHILE on patrol on Saturday afternoon, officers from the Deepcar Neighbourhood Team came across a male acting suspiciously. He was searched and found to have a quantity of drugs on him.
Heathland supports many rare species, including the nocturnal nightjar. The total heathland area in UK has declined significantly in the last half century.

agreement with the director of environmental services at Sheffield City Council to look at physical restrictions to prevent access on to the car park in future but this will take some weeks and will involve height restricted barriers to the car park, rear access and access to Paces campus. “At the moment, we are looking for an early eviction notice for travellers that arrived again at the site. Obviously we are very concerned about
