Risedale Rangers Return
Thursday, October 17th 2019
This term a small group of students from Risedale Sports and Community College have returned weekly to help out with various conservation tasks on the reserve.
So far, they have helped out with path maintenance and this week they assisted by removing the hay from a wildflower meadow that was cut by volunteers earlier in the week.
Using tarpaulins, tonne sacks, wheelbarrows and plenty of elbow grease the team transported the hay away from the meadow.
It wasn't the most fun task in the 'liquid sunshine' however, they got stuck in and did a fantastic job.
