Hazel, a Hedge and more High Vis!

Monday, January 17th 2022

Last week, work began again on the Hazel coppice along Risedale Beck. The brash from this task has been woven into an existing dead hedge to give new life to this traditional feature!

The construction involves a lot of teamwork; preparing the branches and passing them from where they were cut to where they are needed.

To build the hedge it is necessary to work from both sides but as the structure gets taller and taller this is in itself quite a challenge!

It isn't completed but is already looking really good.

There was more 'high vis' clothing on site today as staff from Landmark came to repair the access road. The main route in to the reserve was full of potholes after all of the recent rain, snow and ice.

Our sincere thanks to the team who have made the journey in a lot smoother for staff and vistors!
