Nine volunteers meet up on a misty but otherwise dry Sunday at Alderley Edge.
The task was to rescue a hedge that had been planted but was being cut with a tractor hedge trimmer so was a bit of a mess.
The first job was to tidy the hedge and remove sideways branches.
Several of the group had done hedge laying before – one even had his own billhook made by his own fair hands.
We lit a fire to get rid of the brash
The mist lifted around lunchtime and we continued working on the stretch of hedge.
By the end of the day we had managed to lay the whole section of hedge and trim the holly.
The path is right by the Rangers area so it will be interesting to go back and see how it’s doing on our future trips to Alderley Edge.
