Scotgrove Wood, 15th March 2009
Our third visit to this Lincolnshire limewood this season. Fourteen of
us turned out for what was a beautiful, warm and sunny day, perfect early
spring weather.
We set to work on creating another clearing further into the woodland, with
a nice big bonfire to remove all the material. The deep, water filled
ditches that proved a hazard on last months site, were also present here.
Those with previous experience had brought wellies this time round, but
there were still some wet boot fulls by the end of the day!
The
trees, mainly birch and willow, fell thick and fast and were soon cleared
away, leaving another open area into the side of the woodland that will
hopefully encourage wild flowers and insects.
