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!
