22nd January 2017

Thanks to TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) organisation who provided a mixed hedgerow selection of trees free of charge we were able to plant a new hedgerow at the bus terminus entrance to the wood during our conservation morning today. Hopefully it will grow into a wild-life friendly habitat over the next few years.

Many thanks Chris Roberts (Ranger) and to those who turned out today. We soon warmed up once we started working

Sunday 17 September 2017

A great session on Sunday. Andy, Mick and Chris M. raking the meadow in the sun, perfect. Chris Roberts the photographer. (Thanks, Chris for the photo!) Just the four of us all morning.
