Work Party - Sunday 13th February 2022

 


The usual beginning to my blog, a look down the main path, still looking very bare. A grey day although we managed to miss the rain which was the reason that we postponed from last Sunday. 


The newly refurbished noticeboard has had a makeover, thank-you Erin, with updated photos and information.



The main task this month was to finish off the preparation of the space, I really enjoyed swinging the mattock to dig out the brambles it has to be said, and move the picnic table.

It is very far from perfect, but it's there. It will look a lot better once the vegetation greens up but I suspect it will always be slightly on the huh! 



In the space where the picnic table used to be, the area was levelled with topsoil from the many mole hills in the churchyard. There is a really big patch of snowdrops here which had the vegetation cleared a bit so that we can really enjoy them. 




The bird feeders got their usual top up, with a bit of help.



We even found time to finally, after talking about it for 3 years, start thinning the ash trees along the track. All by hand, with bow saws of course.

A good number of volunteers this month and a lot of productive work done. Bring on spring!
