Rhodybash at Hayfield on Sunday 17th March 2024

Five of us went to Hayfield today.  We progressed the clearance of rhoddies from the moorland, filling up approximately six large bags with our cuttings.  A lot of the rhoddies were just a few years old and where craftily hiding in the bracken with a lot more present than seemed likely on first view.

The rangers where very happy with the work and we could see the areas where heather and birch trees were re-colonising the areas that had been cleared of rhoddies.  It was a very pleasant day with even a bit of sunshine and warmth suggesting spring might be here!
