Getting Ready for the Weekend

Thursday, February 5th 2015

With the ground still frozen today’s plans of planting Larch trees and installing the new feeding station at the wetland have had to be postponed. Volunteers instead found themselves starting work on the final section of the coppice block and preparing the site for the Worky Day this coming Saturday.

Willow and invasive species such as Silver Birch and Gorse were cut and cleared during the day.

A good start was made and space created for the 30 or more volunteers we have coming to help on Saturday to get stuck in.

Thank you for all your hard work today!
