Another fractured morning, but very productive..
Stephen, Philip, Hap and Dave were at Throstle. They used the winch for felling a group of 4 ash that had been growing too close to the road. Plus felled two more ash and a leaning larch.
Geoff, Peter, Remy, Cath, Tanya, Ben, and Michael were at the nursery splitting, sawing and stacking wood. And also loading the van with planting materials for our first site.
The van was manned by Duncan and Matthew, wearing masks, who shuttled between the nursery and the planting site at Marsden.
Myself and John, plus later Adrian, Duncan and Matthew unloaded the van at Marsden, and moved all the materials down to some old stables for storage. 2100 deer guards, 100 stakes for pine, 725 stakes for short guards, 250 shrub guards, and 500 Hare guards.
As we were finishing at Marsden, and John and I were walking down the hill, the promised rain arrived in earnest.
