This morning really started feeling spring like at last, celandines and wood anemones are just about opening and the sound of queen bumble bees hunting for food before building a nest was heard all around the woodland. We split into groups and tackled path building and cleaning up the site where we had recently coppiced hazel. I had a go at building a drainage system which relieved a particularly wet part of the path by Derek’s bridge. The idea is that rain water flows with the positioned pieces of cut wood into the stream below – we will keep an eye on what happens!
Sadly some people still tie bags of dog pooh for us to dispose of – I wonder why they do this?
