The Purchase and Restoration of Prees Heath Common

The project is to purchase half of Prees Heath Common (60ha) in North Shropshire, restore its heathland habitats that support a nationally unique population of the Silver-studded Blue Butterfly, and in doing so make a major Nature reserve that is open again for public interest and enjoyment.

This project is a four year project.

Project costs include the land purchase and associated legel fees, salary costs for a full time Project Officer to implement the scheme, including core costs that are directly attributable to this specific project, boundary repair works, signage and interpretation, equipment purchase and the actual physical restoration works (SSSI area/arable areas/heathland)
