The Grand Volunteer Day!



Newly cleared mere edge.

Thank you so much to all the volunteers from Severn Trent who came on Friday 16th and helped tidy the flower beds and clear some of the scrub from the mere edge. It was hard work which was done cheerfully and enthusiastically by a large group of about 30 people.  Periodic removal of overgrowth from the edge of the water is important  as it allows the natural reed & marginal vegetation to grow back after being shaded out by self seeded trees.                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                        
                                           SAD DAY                                                            

Well, the beech trees have gone...a sad day for all...hopefully we will have some new saplings planted soon.
Dawn of their last day
