Trees will be felled at the Milldown Nature Reserve, Blandford, to make an access to a new section of the reserve.

Four Ash and six Field Maple will be chopped down, along with other vegetation, next to the North Dorset Trailway, to create a new access.

Once the route into the site has been created, near the carving of a head made from an old tree, around 70 new trees will be planted and around 1,000 metres of new hedging laid as part of the nature reserve project.

The site lies north west of Maple Tree Close.
