Thurstaston Common 17th March 2013

Bramble and sapling removal from an area of wet lowland heath on Thurstaston common.

Five volunteers from Manchester tuned out, met up with a somewhat reduced team from the Merseyside volunteers and the local ranger.

We spent the day removing brambles, and saplings that were two well established for the grazing animals to control.  Cutting them down and then digging out the bramble roots were possible.  There was a heavy slow moving shower of cold rain / hail around midday that didn't look like it was clearing - so we packed up early and left.
