The woodland is really greening up now which makes the mown paths more defined and means you can't see all the way through the wood anymore.
This month the mowing of the paths and glades began in earnest and the massive trunk of the tree felled last month was cut into manageable lengths. There was weeding, mulching and more primroses planted. Some non native trees on the top boundary were reduced in height to let more light in and the area around the new table prepared for seeding.

Lots of cabbage white butterflies and some orange tips as well as two frogs were spotted today. During the week a sloworm has been seen and also in the neighbouring churchyard.

It was a hot day and there was good turnout including some new recruits. Refreshments very much welcome at the end of the session.
