Society spokesman Brian Burns said: “Despite the exceedingly dry conditions the heather is starting to make a comeback, with new plants beginning to fill the spaces where the heather-beetle literally destroyed large areas of growth.”

He said all society events are currently on hold and urged people to check the group’s website for information.
