Six of us met up with Ceara including a new volunteer Sam, who travelled from Rochdale by bicycle! OMG, I am tired at just the thought of it!
We had a change of task from the original balsam bashing to putting in fence posts. The worksite was around the fields off the footpath from the visitor centre to the village. The reason for the change is that that they want to put Highland cattle in the these fields in the next few weeks. The cattle are currently at Bank House Farm and they need to be moved soon, so this has become a bit of an urgent job.
The fields are currently wild flower meadows and the cattle will help to maintain the natural growth.
We had a great day. It was hard work but we had lots of people stopping and asking what was going on in the fields.
Thank you to Ceara and my colleagues for their hard work and good company.
