Hay Making at Hawkshill Freedown

Wednesday 24th November saw the beginning of the second annual haymaking at Hawkshill Freedown, over four days dozens of volunteers armed with rakes and determination, worked to collect up and pile recent cuttings on Hawkshill Meadow. Thanks to all of those that attended and our friends at Gazen Salts Nature Reserve for their efforts without which we would not have been able to complete the raking so quickly.

 

We hope to see you all and indeed anyone else who wants to come along next year.

 

Hawkshill Freedown is located behind Walmer Castle, there are several entrances into the Glen from both sides. The car park can be found at the junction of Gram's Road and Liverpool Road, members of Hawkshill Volunteers will be there to meet you at 10am onwards from the 24th through to the end of the cutting season.
