Five volunteers turned out via a car share to Speke and spent the day clearing Rhododendron along the edge of the wood parallel to the main drive.
We re lit an existing fire and continued to clear an area that had been started earlier. In the photo above the right hand side of the picture is an untouched area, the left the cleared one. Regrowth of Rhododendron in being removed and where possible the roots cleared without the use of herbicides.
With luck the extra light reaching the woodland floor will allow natural regeneration of the woodland and and increase in the diversity of vegitation in this area.
