Two hours of lovely weather, the usual festive fun & games with storm kettles, socially distanced mince pies/mulled punch, followed by a 30 minute downpour. All in all a very enjoyable morning.

An enjoyable morning spent planting trees - red oaks in Joel Park and English oaks in The Copse.  A lovely morning for working in Joel Park. The bench has been re-installed and we're getting good at socially distanced tea breaks!    Before and after photos showing the result of an epic bramble clearance session completed this morning.   A mature oak tree had it's trunk snapped about 20 feet from the ground.   A marathon bramble clearing session today in preparation for the new wildflower area. Here's the team on completion of a prickly job.  Excellent turn out this morning for the first work party of our 20th season. Some fine coppicing and expert dead hedge weaving was in evidence. Re-visiting where we started 20 years ago.     Burrow Contractors completed the final (?) part of the drainage project today down at the lower footbridge.    It's Easter weekend and the bluebells are starting to reach their full magnificence.   |
