It has been many years since I volunteered at Lyme Park but it felt like yesterday since I was last here doing my favourite task of cutting down and burning this invasive species of rhododendron ponticum. High up in lantern wood we started the task. Chris the Warden had already set up the fire ready for a good day's burn and later on Claire the Ranger joined us for the day.
We split up into groups to tackle the huge quantity of rhodi surrounding the fire site.
A safe place to store tools...
There was an interesting selection of fungi on the trees nearby...
Our volunteer group...
Rhodi bashing at Lantern Wood to be continued... until next time...
