A number of new volunteers and a few of the usual suspects turned out to Dunham Massey on sunday. We divided into two groups and 5 volunteers spent the morning finishing the last 10 feet or so of hedge (see 1 March 2009 - Hedge Laying at Dunham Massey). Technically it is to far into spring to be doing this (as the sap was rising and there will soon be nesting birds), however as there were no birds yet in that last section and it looked a bit silly stuck up at the end it was decided to finish the job.
These five then travelled back to join the rest of the volunteers among the oaks we platned within a large fenced enclosure in the deer park a few years ago (preblog). Where the other job was removing birch scrub that were in danger of overshadowing the slow growing oaks.
Brambles were a bit of a pain - though Bramble the warden's dog was lovable.
