The weather was on our side and we ended up with a lovely sunny afternoon and six volunteers. Thanks for turning out.
We cleared brambles from the hazel coppice area just inside the gate to the Upper Slopes which will allow the hazels a bit more growing room.
Also cleared up all the bramble cuttings from the TCV work last Autumn. They had never been collected and had been mulched by the flail cutting this Autumn and plants were suffocating under the mat.
Ended up with six large dumpy bags full of bramble cuttings and mulch. Thanks to the Council for arranging tools, bags and dumpy bags and Andrea for hot chocolate and biscuits.
