Wednesday 22nd October 2025 - Millennium Green, Ryde GG #1053

 Terry's photos













Bracket fungus

This week we were back in Ryde at Play Lane Millennium Green assisting the Trustees with management of this site.  There was some tree felling in progress so one of our tasks was to collect the brash and build up the dead hedge at the north end of the site.  The butterfly meadow had been strimmed prior to our arrival.  The team set-to and raked  the cut material which was then moved onto the boundary of the meadow.  Brambles were cut or pulled up as they are very persistent in this area. 

On a previous visit to this site work had been undertaken attempting to channel the water coming onto the site from the eastern boundary.  Today the channels were cleared and culverts checked to help with the water flow over the coming months.

Along the southern boundary, parallel to the bridleway to Dame Anthony’s Common, another dead hedge was created from previously cut material.  It was a busy morning with lots of tasks achieved. 

Thank you to Terry for the photos and to PLMG Trustees for the sweet treats at breaktime.
