Wed 8th Nov 2017 - One Horse Field, Totland. GG # 710.

Terry's Photographs.


Site information.


Lots to rake and transport.




"One man went to mow...went to mow a meadow"








Just one of the MANY compost piles.




The two areas that we cleared.


It was a long drive for most of Team GG this week, all the way out to the wilds of West Wight. It has been ages since we last visited this venue but little had really changed. We were tasked with raking up and clearing the grass, brambles and blackthorn that was being cut by the G2N ranger. This was then placed in huge piles to the side of the cleared areas and will hopefully become protection for the smaller wildlife over the winter months. It is really hard work trying to keep areas such as this clear of undergrowth so they can thrive as meadows. As can be seen from the photographs above, we had a beautiful blue sky but the chilly wind reminded us that we are now approaching mid November. Hard work but very rewarding when you see what was achieved in just one morning.

Many thanks to Terry for taking the photographs this week.
