Wed 10th April 2024 - Haseley Manor, Arreton. GG # 976.

 Terry's Photographs.












Alison's Editorial.

This week we were working at Haseley Manor, Arreton.  We were asked to clear a couple of waterways and to collect tree guards.  There has been so much water recently that one waterway at the far end of the site had re-routed itself to bring water onto the land rather than take it to the river.  The original ditch and nearby hedge were cleared.    Another ditch (closer to the house) was also cleared to help drain the land.  Those of us not digging ditches worked our way through the woodland removing tree guards, their plastic ties and wooden stakes.  These will be sorted and either disposed of or recycled.  The morning started off fine and dry but drizzle started towards the end of the session.  Needless to say, it was very soggy underfoot and wellies were a definite requirement.


Many thanks to Alison for her editorial and Terry for the photographs.
