All Work and No Play?

Friday, October 13th 2023

We had a very productive volunteer task day this week - raking, baling, buring…and pressing… apples to be precise.

OK, not particularly effective for habitat management, but something very rewarding for all involved, and an autumn tradition within these isles for generations.

Of course the best thing about this particular task is the end product - everyone involved enjoyed a glass of liquid nectar and took a bottle home with them. Looking forward to repeating this next year - anyone fancy the idea of Foxglove Cider?
