Those attending this week were...
This week’s conversation seemed to revolve around outside activities. The willow maze at Golden Hill Fort is now underway after several delays. The following is an excerpt from Gift to Nature’s recent Facebook post:
‘We are so excited to finally be able to allow work on the willow maze installation at Golden Hill Country Park.
Willow artist Eddie Glew and his team will start work on Tuesday 23rd March. All work and accommodation arrangements will be fully Covid compliant.
This is the final stage of our Golden Hill Country Park project, which has received really positive feedback. A mixture of archaeological excavations and improvements for both people and wildlife alike, we are very proud of all those who have worked so hard on this important National Lottery Heritage Fund funded project.'
One of our number also bumped into Nick, G2N ranger, and he has lots of work waiting for us once we are permitted to be out and about.
It has been noticed that trees are being removed from various sites on the Island – notably along the Middle Road where they arched over the road - possibly due to ash dieback. Mark advised it can make the trees very unstable so trees are being removed before they can fall down.
Badgers are upsetting the keen gardeners amongst us who have these nocturnal visitors. They are also causing considerable problems for the cemeteries in Freshwater and Totland, they are a protected species and not easily persuaded to go elsewhere.
Condolences were expressed regarding the sad loss of Bob the Blog’s partner, Mags.
Stay safe.
Many thanks to Alison for both the screen shot and editorial this week.
