Eight volunteers turned out, and spend the day with the local staff (wardens - shortly to be renamed and reuniformed as "rangers" - apparently) cutting and burning Rhodadendron.If you haven't already heard R. Ponticum is a menace reducing biodiversity in the Uk see countryside info for one explanation of the reasons - or hunt down other entries in this blog.
As the day started out wet Shane selected a comparatively level patch to work on for this session. As we avoided working in the smoke, we cut an area that extended some distance behind the camera position used for the before and after photographs posted here. The rain more or less stopped as we started work and the day ended in pleasant sunshine.
