MS4S has recently supplied a variety of hand tools and a battery-powered brushcutter to the volunteer group ‘Friends of Par Beach’. The group have previously carried out lots of work to reduce the amount of invasive species growing in the dunes at Par, which usually means lots of cutting and digging, in order to remove as many of these troublesome plants as possible. The new tools will enable more of this great work to happen and add a new tool to their arsenal in the form of the electric brushcutter. Once trained in how to use this new machine, volunteers will be able to use it in areas that are too dense for hand tools to make much impact.
Jenny Tagney, Chair of the volunteer group, said “I want to thank the MS4S team for your wonderfully generous donation. Having more of the most useful hand tools and protective gauntlets will make such a difference to volunteers when we’re working to control Rosa Rugosa, Sea Buckthorn and Gorse – not to mention brambles!”
