THIS week a Quantocks conservation charity added a local quarry to its current 400 acres of landholdings.
Friends of the Quantocks has taken on the custodianship of Bicknoller Quarry with the aim of protecting its biodiversity and safeguarding it from commercial development
The former stone quarry has until this week been in the ownership of Somerset Council.
Chair of Friends of the Quantocks, Robin Stamp, said: “Our primary charitable purpose is the conservation and protection of the Quantock habitats, and this is a significant new asset but also a financial liability for us with capital expenditure needed to improve the safety at the site.
“As a small charity we are dependent on income from annual memberships and one-off gifts. Please join us and help us to protect the Quantocks”.
