Description

Rifle Range suffers from encroachment by Birch, Oak, broom and gorse. Across much of the site, this can be controlled by a combination of mowing, weedwiping and heavy grazing. However, there are areas of mature heather across the reserve, with broom, birch and gorse beginning to become dominant. This cannot be managed via the mowing/weedwiping method as the age structure of the Calluna needs to be maintained. The purpose of these works is for the Council to be left with areas of mature heather in a condition that it can maintain in the future. A pre-requisite of submitting a tender is attending a site visit planned for Friday 2nd December, time to be confirmed. Deadline for submissions is 2pm, Friday 9th December 2016 to Due North's portal: http://procontract.due-north.com
