Habitat Restoration in Slop Bog Nature Reserve

Published: 12 Sep 25

Dorset Council's Green Space Team will be working on a habitat restoration project across five Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in East Dorset this autumn, including Slop Bog.

The work is expected to be completed by the end of December. During this time, signage will be in place to help guide visitors around any temporarily closed areas. The team apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as they carry out this important work to protect the site and its wildlife. Read More...
