Meet 9.55am at The Iron Bridge

Muti tasking this month.

Firstly we had identified that some of the areas where young hedgerow whips had previously been planted had now become engulfed in undergrowth. It was a delicate task to find the whips and clear the ground so that they will see the light of day in the spring.

One of our tasks is to maintain a plot of land where we mow twice a year, but a tree fall needed removal to gain access with our mowers. Mission accomplished.

The kissing gate by Fort Drew had a tree fall that made the gate inaccessible, so the low hanging branches were removed to open up the path. 

More undergrowth was removed from around the cattle coral area to ensure the grazier can gain access for his vehicles.

Last but not least, we are preparing an area for a container to house our tools near the Fishermans car park.

It required the final shipment of aggregate to be shovelled into place. Wish I had the energy to do that!

Many thanks to: Ken Davies, Tony and Sheila Lee, Phil Gibbs, Christine & Nick Gray, Philip Davies, Alison Marriott, Cathrine Green, Russell Ball and Nigel Daley.
