Welcome to The Pepperbox Hill Guardians' Website
This website is managed by the children of Whiteparish, All Saints School. It tells you about Pepperbox Hill, such ass which animals live there, which plants grow there and the history of the site.
About the Project
We are part of a National Trust CGU Guardianship Project. This means that the site at Pepperbox Hill is owned by the National Trust and we help to look after it. This involves clearing space for new plants by cutting down trees which are blocking away light and stopping any plants growing. The logs are piled up so minibeasts can still live there. We burn the little twigs and branches that come off the logs. After a while "weeds" start to grow. After a few years some rare of just interesting plants begin to take over and the transformation from an area of 'not a lot' to an area full of plant life is complete. We also pick up litter, make observations and draw pictures of what we see.
