Scrub clearance at Hare Hill on 10 August 2014

Five volunteers braved Hurrican Bertha and turned up to help in the woodland garden at Hare Hill. The task was clearing brambles, nettles, shrubs and trees from part of the perimeter fencing, so that the (no longer) rabbit-proof mesh could be checked and, where necessary, replaced.  The day finished earlier than usual due to the volunteers being in need of a warm bath and clean, dry clothing and also because we finished the last stretch of fencing.

The tea break and end-of-task lunch were both taken in the information room, so we had the luxury of a table from which to eat our food (including a fine cherry cake). The group is back at Hare Hill in a few weeks and the task may include replacing the rabbit-proof mesh now that it is accessible.
