Double Fire Day
Posted
on
When one fire wasn't enough, it was decided to start another one to clear the moutain of brash which remains at the bottom of the bank. A huge difference could be noticed today, and the end is in sight!
One big job was to start raking off the bank of all the small branches, to allow the wild flowers to come up. It was lovely weather for a day out in the woods, and the light streamed down onto the ground.
The Far Moor Scrapes are really taking shape, and the size of this new water body can now be appreciated!
Work on the wetland is nearing completion, and the ponds are now open and free of overgrown vegetation. It will become a haven for many birds, invertebrates and amphibians.
Thank you to everyone who helped today.
