Sunday 19th Feb 2012 at Hayfield

Twelve MNTV volunteers, 3 National Trust Rangers in their new-style uniforms and 2 of their dogs, met to clear rhododendron in Park Hall Woods at Hayfield. It was a cold start with some black ice in the Sett Valley Trail carpark where we met, but once we got to the worksite, the Rangers got the fire going and we started cutting down the rhody and dragging it to the fire, we all warmed up. The day just got better and better - the sun started breaking through the trees, the air was still and the only sound was from the birds and the chatter and laughter of the volunteers.
A great day and we made a big difference by clearing a large area of rhody:-)
