Back to Work

Tuesday, January 4th 2022

The long holiday weekends are over and the Foxglove volunteers were back at work.  There was more work to be done in the plantation.  Some of the smaller trunks could be removed with not too much difficulty.

Whereas some of the larger ones needed to be winched.

The sun was  setting through the trees as a saw was used to tidy up some of the smaller trunks and stumps that were left.

Bird feeders and hoppers were filled across the reserve to help the birds cope with this cold snap.

Mallard on the partially frozen lake were not left out and they received brunch!

Many thanks to the volunteers who helped today in the cold snowy conditions.
