2nd August 2026 - Work Party

 A lovely morning for a work party but also a busy time of year so only 3 of us this month. 
Still no significant rainfall and the woodland is actually drier than it looks in this photo, on the ground you can see that there has been a large drop of field maple keys and the same has happened with apples as the trees try to protect themselves from the drought. 


Knowing that it would be a small work party, and how hot it has been getting, a short, achievable,  session was planned. The roadside verge was cut and raked, to make it tidier, but also to ensure that any rain we did get would reach the hedge. I also trimmed the taller hedge plants, it almost looks like a hedge now!

Before!



After!

After!

The hedge line just about visible now it has been cleared.

Blackberries are early this year.
