Another Late Finish

Tuesday, November 6th 2018

We continue to work on coppicing and pollarding an area of Willow Carr near to the Field Centre, processing four large Willows today alone!

Meanwhile work has also continued on the Green Route boardwalk, spearheaded by John and Imogen who are yet to finish at the time of writing.

Fixing a boardwalk that was made off site and dropped in place, as opposed to one made in situ is always more difficult; especially when the original boardwalk lacked a proper approach to begin with.

It has been this approach which John and Imogen have been working on today, along with new mesh covering for grip and cladding around the outside.

This picture of the finished product (sent by Imogen via email at 16:50) gives a sense of the scope of the project, but not of the many hidden complexities that a job like this throws up.
