Island 2000 will take over the countryside management from Monday. The IWC will still retain ownership of the land, but it will be managed as part of Gift to Nature Project.
Himalayan Balsam is a growing problem and Island 2000 have been working to control it for six years. Volunteers from Island Roads recently lent a hand.
Bringing people closer to nature is the main aim of Gift to Nature and exciting new additions to the Red Squirrel Hide in Parkhurst Forest are helping do just that.
