The cleared pathway.




This week we were back at Haseley Manor to continue the work we started there a couple of weeks ago. This time the majority of the work was concentrated on clearing an existing pathway / track that runs adjacent to the main Arreton - Horringford road and coppicing around the pond areas. The team split into two groups, attacking it from opposite ends and then meeting towards the middle. Terry's excellent photographs show just how overgrown some areas were πŸ˜€. Good progress was achieved although there is still plenty of work to be done here to get things really sorted. The weather remained dry throughout the session but it was extremely windy, a sign of what is to come when we have two named storms arriving over the next 48 hours..!

A Note From Mark.

Video showing a drainage ditch that Mark and Colin were working on....


Remember those bat boxes we made when working down at the Folly..? They have now been installed...πŸ‘.


Storm Euclid.

If we get a call to do work at Northwood House then perhaps Mark might invest in some new bow saw blades... tree damage after the storm...LOTS to cut up..!




Next week's session will be held at Afton Marsh, Mark will e-mail details closer to the time.
