A small work party assembled on Sunday 15th March. Given the recent wet winter and cancelled work parties, there remained much to do before the bird-nesting period impedes our activities. Deer fencing had to be repaired, ground cleared to help the red-listed Spreading Bellflower, a tree that had fallen across the public footpath was sawn up, and a new dead hedge started to mark the boundary with a neighbour’s quillet. We also installed a bat box that had been kindly donated by a shareholder.

Another work party is scheduled for this coming Sunday, 22nd March. All are welcome – gather in the Chapel Lawn Village Hall car park at 10.0 am. Coffee and cake will be provided. There is still a lot of work to get through.
