| Poised for action - heavy equipment has moved on to site |
THE coastal nature reserve in Cleethorpes is set for a short-back-and-sides in the coming days.
Contractors will be coppicing much of the sea buckthorn to prevent it establishing a stranglehold on the dune-like terrain.
The aim is to encourage other plants and wildflowers, notably orchids, which have been struggling to hold their own.
Some birds may lose nesting and feeding habitat, but, overall, the project - known as Dynamic Dunes - is expected to be positive for wildlife and the environment.
It is being spearheaded by North East Lincolnshire Council and Natural England.
