Dismantling deer fencing at Lyme Park on Sunday 2nd July 2023

Eight of us met Izzy in the car park where she explained that we would be removing some deer fencing from around some trees, these trees now being big enough to fend for themselves against the deer.  We followed Izzy up to where she had left her vehicle by a gate into an area that is not accessible to the general public.  Once into this area and across a field we came to our worksite of Calves Croft.

We had to use loppers in a couple of instances to enable us to manoeuvre the posts out.  Apart from some of the strengthening posts having a lot of staples in them the job went well.



Sue Daber, both a Lyme Park and MNTV volunteer, came to see us in the afternoon as part of her Lyme duties, and treated us to more cake which was gratefully eaten.

Once all fencing had been removed we took it down to the vehicle for Izzy to take back to the yard.


Thanks to everyone for their hard work, to Sue for the cake and Izzy for keeping us entertained.
