Ten of us met up with Head Ranger Ashley today. We car shared to the worksite which was the burn area on the old airport road. Ashley has decided to move the burn site from this small wood. Today's task was to scatter some of the large pile of ashes around the site and burn anything left including some garden waste flytipped in the area. Just for good measure we chopped down and burnt some rhody - well, it wouldn’t be an MNTV winter Sunday without destroying at least a bit of rhody!
After lunch we split into two groups - one tended the fire and the other group did a litter pick along the airport road. The litter pick team did well collecting two full bags - they found litter we had missed last time (18th December) because it had been hidden under the snow.
Ashley was really pleased with our work and is looking forward to making the area a more natural habitat.
