May 3rd 2026 -Work Party

 It was a bank holiday weekend and I was expecting people to be busy, there wasn't much on the job list so a small group was perfect. It was a lovely bright morning and the wood is filling up now with undergrowth and leaves!

Main path still a bit bare on the ground.

The wood was tidied from the new shelter so that it was useable. The paths and glades were mown and we looked for signs of infection on some oaks which have failed to come into leaf properly. The tree warden is going to see if there is any other reports of diseased oaks locally.


Red  campion 

The fruit bushes were cleared of sticky weed and nettles.

Honeysuckle on both sides of the path!

We planted bluebells a few years ago, this is the first time they have been really 
The footpath along the churchyard was also strimmed.
