Today we replaced some badly disintegrating guards on trees we planted 19th March 2022 to replace the non-native alder (American?) that died en masse around 2018 at SC14b. The trees, mainly oak are doing okay, but the deer were getting at them. In fact we saw a deer whilst there - it just stood a few yards from us watching our activities, then calmly sauntered off. 

Geoff, Dan, Jim and Kara attended.

We were up above Linthwaite today weeding some farm hedgerows planted a couple of seasons ago. It was hard work, thorny, nettly, and tightly framed by stone walls and barbed wire.

We were; Philip, Dan, Tanya, Adam, Dianne, Asad, myself, and Dave.

So were all over the place this morning.

Philip led myself, Kara, Tanya and Dave up to Redbrook, and then down to a very nettle-y spot in Marsden.

Geoff, Dan and Jess were at New Hey.

All of us weeding. And the sun didn't shine quite so hard.
