Volunteers felling trees

Tuesday, September 29th 2009

It has been another busy day today. The sun was warm and there was no wind at all. Just the sort of day for our volunteers to be felling trees and doing some heavy work!

Volunteers working in the sun

They were taking young silver birch out along the access road. This will open up some views and make glades along the road. This is then good for insects and birds. Here you can see John, Andrew and Raymond almost disappearing underneath all the brash. It was taken to the stone pile to await burning or chipping.
