Wed 30th Jan 2008 - Pan Allotments.



The hedge to the east of Pan allotments was the focus of our attention this week. Work was started on this project last year - when we cleared out the first half of the hedge prior to hedge laying. This week we were back to do the same to the second half - clearing out all the rubbish and dead wood ready for the rangers to come in and do the "technical" stuff...! It is amazing what you find in the bottom of a hedge - we found a whole trailer full of scrap including a sink and a toilet cistern (but NOT a KITCHEN sink..!!!) All the bramble, ivy and dead wood was pulled out then piled up ready for burning. The work carried out last year looks really good and has inspired us to get on with the remainder. Once again the weather was very kind to us and we had a good turn out of GGers.

A note from Carrie with the pictures this week - they found a ladybird during the work - is this the first of the year?
