Mabaker Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Every time I walk through the top path along Dawson's Heights I've noticed that there are fewer bramble bushes. Some have been cut down but some hedges have been taken out completely. As the blackberry hedges provide food and shelter for wild life, I'm finding this hedge cull worrying. Does anyone know what's going on there? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/306000-brambles-cull-on-dawsons-heights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castleton Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yes, worrying. Totally wrong season! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/306000-brambles-cull-on-dawsons-heights/#findComment-1572051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 It?s ok to cut brambles right down and also at the start of Spring, although it doesn?t appear this has been done with any understanding.Do we know who did it?

Mabaker Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 The Council lists the reserve as being under management if Dawson's Hill Trust but that website appears to be dormant. Actually there are a couple of signs there. I'll check that for information.

alice Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Wasn?t there something in this forum about fruit trees last year? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/306000-brambles-cull-on-dawsons-heights/#findComment-1572210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianr Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Maybe this? https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,2189946.There's also a fair amount of much earlier stuff that can be brought up by a search on "fruit trees".
