It’s the Final Countdown!

Today with our team of Tuesday volunteers we did what we hope to be the final push on this year’s coppice block. The countdown is on to get it finished before the buds burst on the trees and the birds start nesting!

We think that all we have left to do it a little tidying up of coppice stools and stumps – thank you very, very much to all who have helped us both with this mammoth task (today and over the last few months) and with all the others jobs needed to keep Foxglove going!

Other jobs done today, which we caught on camera, were: repairing the tap outside the portacabin,

filling the bird feeders,

continuing the tidy and sort of the workshop

and planting a couple of saplings.

Unfortunately we didn’t get photos of all the help given today, including tidying the Field Centre garden, admin tasks, replacing the mesh grip on a bridge, moving boardwalks, pruning trees overhanging a bridge and cleaning out the tadpole tank. Then on the other hand when checking the camera at the end of the day we found we’d taken some odd pictures like this one:

We love it. Caption to explain what’s going on anyone?
