Work party - Sunday 3rd October 2021

 

It hasn't changed much since last month!

A small, select band of volunteers this month but the weather was kind after a lot of rain on Saturday. I didn't mow the paths as it was a bit wet and we didn't have much petrol, there is a bit of a fuel shortage at the moment.

I finished off turning the compost heap,  which I started last time.

The last bit of the new hedge along the road verge was weeded and some sycamore saplings on the corner removed to allow the growth of the fruit trees there. This is the beginning of the plan to rejuvenate the hedge along the track.

Meanwhile, in the den area the long awaited work finally took place. We put some in shorter posts to encourage the hazel to grow upwards, rather than outwards, and also added some longer poles to give a better definition of the whole den shape. 

The next work party will be on 31st October preparing for the return of the Halloween pumpkin trail.
