Askham Bryan and the dead hedge

Once again the students from Askham Bryan were here with Tim to work on the dead hedge adjacent to the Hazel coppice. Chris explained what they had to do and they all added to the dead hedge which was started by the volunteers on Tuesday. The work completed here this week has made a huge difference to the whole area. Thanks everyone for all your help.

The sunshine today has meant that the whole week, although cold, has seen blue skies and sunny weather. The bluebell leaves are coming through on the banks of the beck and geese have been seen flying over the reserve.

The clear skies have meant that the nights have been too cold to catch any moths lately. The trap was set earlier this week to no avail.
