[Adastra] Ferring Rife 'ponds'

[SARAH PATTON]

I went to have a look at the marsh orchids at Ferring Rife today and was 
surprised to see three scrapes dug in the marsh, with adjacent piles of spoil. 
I have since learned that this was a project by a local conservation group in 
conjunction with the EA to 'replace' ponds which had become choked with 
Crassula. 
Orchids have been dug up and covered. I know that there are a lot on the site 
but there are some scarce hybrids present. I do wonder if anyone who actually 
knows anything was consulted?
