VOLUNTEERS gave up their weekend to help restore a stockade at the Holtspur Bank nature reserve.
Around a dozen members of the Friends of Holtspur Bank joined in the work party last Sunday and raised the level of the stockade by a foot.
The stockade is used to keep deer out of the nature reserve which boasts a wide range of species of butterflies and a selection of dormice, which are becoming an increasingly endangered species.
Shirley Scrivener, chairman of the Friends of Holtspur Bank, said: "The day went very well indeed.
"Around a dozen volunteers showed up including our three teenage members."
Holtspur Bank has been a nature reserve for six years and members of the public can join for just £2 per household, per year.
Membership includes a regular newsletter and information on the activities organised by the group.
