Wed 18th Oct 2017 - Naturezones, Blackwater. GG # 707

Alison's Photographs.

Although we were initially scheduled to be at the RSPCA Centre this week, the venue was changed to Naturezones at Blackwater. The meadow area had been cut and baled sometime earlier so our first task was to collect all the bales, using wheelbarrows, and then deposit them into various composting areas. On completion of this task it was on to some tree removal around the pond area plus coppicing of the willow trail and arches. It was a grey, overcast day with occasional light rain but fortunately the remnants of storm Ophelia had long since passed..! Around 10 GG members stayed after the session for home made soup. 

We have Alison to thank for taking the excellent photographs this week.
