Conservation bid launched for scrubland
A CAMPAIGN has begun in Craven to promote the conservation of scrubland in a bid to create habitats for rare and endangered wildlife.
The Craven Biodiversity Action Group, chaired by officers from North Yorkshire County Council’s Countryside Service, is offering free advice and site visits to people who own suitable plots of land which could be used for plants such as brambles, hawthorn and blackthorn.
A number of threatened species, including birds like the linnet and the yellowhammer, rely upon scrubland for their survival.
