Clee Liberty - Towards a New Management Plan

  • Clee St Margaret Village Hall Clee St Margaret Craven Arms SY7 9DU (map)

Please join us at Clee St Margaret Village Hall on Monday 28 November at 7.30pm where we will present ideas for habitat improvements on Clee Liberty Common as a result of work that has been carried out under the Our Upland Commons Project and to discuss how we move forward from this point.  This offers an opportunity for some exciting habitat developments to improve habitats for a number of species as well as other broader benefits.

Leo Smith, OUC bird project coordinator and Dr Jenny Joy with Mike Williams who have coordinated and delivered projects around butterflies and moths for the OUC project, have been working together this autumn, also with local residents, commoners/graziers, the Parish Council and also other specialists incl. Natural England, the National Trust and Shropshire Wildlife Trust and they will explain their combined ideas, how and why these may be beneficial and what particular species these are aimed at.

We then hope to spark a discussion about the merits, feasibility and resources needed for these interventions and gauge interest and priority levels and how we can map out plans how these can be taken forward by you, the combined local community, if that is what you want.

We hope for a full house at the meeting, and a good discussion and that this will ultimately lead to elements that can be incorporated into a new Management Plan for Clee Liberty in line with the vision that was drafted in the development phase of the OUC project.
