Work Party Sunday 5 April

Meet 9.55am

Now that the bird nesting season is well underway, our work around the lake takes on a  less intrusive role. 

One of our annual tasks is to maintain the fencing of the 3 fields before the return of the Dexter cattle. 

On some sections of the fence, especially on the lake side where the ground is quite soft, the posts are easily pushed from the vertical by the cattle when endeavouring to eat the grass on the wrong side of the fence. Our volunteers set about straightening the posts, tensioning the barbed wire and replacing any broken posts.

Some of us cut back any overhanging branches that were encroaching on the fences, and we also found time to clear a bit of undergrowth round the pathway and trees on the Uxbridge Road entrance.

Many thanks to Philip and Julia Davies, Shaan Purohit, Alison Marriott, Adrian Christie, Christine and Nick Gray, Russell Ball and Nigel Daley.
