Sunday 18th June 2017 - Plant Sale and Big Lunch

In contrast to last year, this year's Woodland Group plant sale and picnic was very, very hot!

With a wonderful selection of plants, and refreshments, lots of money was raised in a convivial atmosphere.

And for lunch, a picnic in the shady bits of the woodland glade. This year our village joined in with the national Big Lunch/Great Get Together inspired by Jo Cox, the MP who was killed a year ago. So nice to sit together after a busy morning and just relax for a while.

Sunday 4th June 2017 - Work Party

Glorious sunshine for this month's work party. The foxgloves are out, looking so pretty in the dappled sunlight along the main ride. With a bit of sun and a bit of rain the woodland is full of summer greenness.

The tool washing area was completed and the tank placed on it's plinth, ready to be filled with water once the mortar has hardened.

 In preparation for the woodland picnic in a couple of weeks time,  the grass was trimmed in the glade revealing lots of tiny toadstools. This picture doesn't really show how many as they were all in the grass and up the log.

A quick search for bug hunting areas was also done. We found a speckled wood butterfly a, mouse and some suitable logs with centipedes in residence.
