We had a bumper turnout of ten volunteers for Dunham today, it was lovely to catch up with some people that I haven't seen for a few years as I don't normally lead at Dunham.
The task was meadow management which basically means raking cut grass from a field that had been laid to meadow since before Covid.

| Field before grass is moved |
Armed with rakes and tarpaulin we moved the grass to the far end of the field to create a natural habitat for wildlife.

We were glad when lunchtime arrived so that we could sit down and take a well earned rest and wave at passing cars and the odd cyclist!

After the workday Nat took us on a tour around the gardens to see the Christmas displays and a few were lit up giving us a glimpse of what it would be like at night-time.
At the end of the day we managed to capture a lovely group photo with Dunham as the backdrop.
