Habitat and sheep

Tuesday, November 2nd 2010

The volunteers cleared up an area in the woodland which will be home to our new outdoor classroom. They have made a home for mini-beasts out of all the logs and stumps. As this rots down it will be a fantastic place for fungi, frogs, beetles and all manner of small things.

Later in the morning we all had to help gather in the sheep which have been grazing the wetland area. Val helped by showing them exactly which way to go!

They eventually obliged us by going into their transport and Keith took them away until next year.
