February 16th 2022 volunteer day, tree planting, working the Pol.

Brandon is busy handing out the tools and young trees for today’s session.
Ground elder, buckthorn and hawthorn were the new species chosen for planting today.
Ange and Ashleigh get stuck in.

We were spacing the trees about 1.5-2m apart in an area in front of the trees just up from the visitor centre. There were about 70 to do altogether.

Our second task was to extend thepond water area in front of the bird screen to encourage more waders – would love to see the water rails in here again.
Hard work, well done, Ange, Jeff and Bev for persevering with it.
Nice to see where you’ve been, the muddy water on the left shows the area extended.
