We were 14 strong today, working with Ranger Jason in Lantern Wood clearing rhododendron.
A special welcome to the Wark family who staggered up the hill unannounced to join us. An unexpected bonus on a pleasant autumn morning.
No rain and little wind meant - fire! It’s the first time in months that we’ve had a good bonfire and Jason and James managed to get two blazing nicely by lunchtime. We pretty much cleared the backlog that needed burning and cut down a further supply for the next group.
The work we did is part of the 50+ years project to enhance the moorland that's part of the Lyme Park estate. We’re gradually moving up the hill but there’s a way to go yet.
