Wed 1st May 2019 - Knighton Down Nature Reserve. GG # 783.

Terry's Photographs.


This is where it was all at on Wednesday morning.


Nice views..but steep slopes..!



Playing at "hunt the pesky plants"





Everything had to be bagged and dragged.



Slopes are good for sitting during tea breaks.


One truck full of pesky plants.

Although we all managed to turn up at the appointed place, there was something of a mix-up as to where we might be working this week. With that resolved, it was off on a bit of a pony trek along the hillside all kitted out with ragwort forks and various other garden implements. Once again, the brief was simple, find young ragwort plants....and exterminate them...! We were soon strung out along the very steep hillside with a fork in one hand and a huge bag dragging behind. Although it was rather overcast, we had a dry session throughout which was a vast improvement on last Wednesday..! As the last photograph above shows, we collected a pick-up truck full of the pesky plants so another job well done.
Many thanks to Terry for taking the photographs this week.
