Nine volunteers met up with ranger Duncan for a day of vegetation removal, namely self-seeded birch.
We were working in the same field across the road from the car park that we worked in at the beginning of the year. A corporate group had been in earlier in the week and had made a great impression. Duncan pointed out the area we were tasked with clearing. First impressions were there wasn't a lot - how wrong could we be!
After lunch we helped load the trailer with split tree trunks which were to be used for cleft fencing. As the trees were oak, even though split, they were very heavy. Once done, whilst Duncan took the trailer to the yard we continued "popping" birch.
It was a strenuous day but we left tired but happy with what we had achieved, as was Duncan.
Thank you to my colleagues for their very hard work and to Duncan and his faithful dog for a good workday.
