August volunteer day

It was a glorious sunny day for our volunteer day this month. We spent the morning clearing bracken around the middle of the site, and bramble along the top boundary. In both areas we are planning some new plantings, so we also spent the time digging out bramble roots, to get a head start on the weeding.

After lunch we stayed in the shade, trimming back and removing rhododendron, plus watering some of the smaller trees and shrubs planted earlier in the year. There have been a few losses in the recent months due to the ongoing drought, but many trees have been staying in good health which is nice to see.

Many thanks to everyone that came along and for all the energy!

See you next time!
