We are still in lockdown and unable to meet for our monthly work party, however the woodland is looking lovely with lots of primroses now in flower as the snowdrops have faded.
It has been a mostly cold spring so far, the leaf buds are still swelling ready to burst open very shortly.
Our contractor returned to remove a couple of trees with ash dieback, a fungal infection, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, which could become dangerous in the future. He also thinned the trees along the new hedge line, roadside, to help the hedge grow.
The next work party will be in April which I hope will be able to go ahead. Looking forward now to warmer weather, lighter evenings and being able to get back to work in the woodland.
