This task proved not quite so sunny as our last visit, but the snow, rain &
strong winds came & went quickly, leaving clear, cold intervals to keep us happy.
The work was a continuation of the previous task, coppicing the trees and shrubs
either side of the entrance track to encourage the growth of wild flowers.
Numbers were down a bit on last time, but it was Mother's day, so there were
valid excuses! We continued clearing the broad banks either side of the track,
making a much neater job than the contractors who had been working further in
the woodland using some kind of monster machine to flatten all in its path!
After a lunch break taken, thankfully, in a sunny spell of weather, we
continued apace burning as much as possible while ensuring the fire would be
down to ash before we left, stockpiling the rest of the cut stuff, hopefully for
a return visit later in the season.
