Fence work at Lyme Park on Sunday 13th March 2022

Ten volunteers worked with Alex, one of the Rangers at Lyme Park, helping to make the fence around the garden rabbit and badger proof.  This involved lots of digging to get chicken wire into the ground, in the hopes that the wire deters our little four-legged friends from digging their way under the fence.


We all love rabbits and badgers in the Park but in the garden they eat the expensive plants and shoots - just like the rabbits in Mr McGregor's garden (for Beatrix Potter fans).

The chocolate buns got a thumbs up mid-morning and the weather stayed dry so all in all a successful day.  Just a few metres of rabbit proofing left for next week because we ran out of chicken wire.
