This morning was a three-fer.
I assigned myself to the nursery, on the principle that Dave would need help unloading and stacking logs. Sadly this message didn't get through to the chainsaw boys, who spent the morning felling larch and leaving it where it lay. So hardly any logs arrived, and the ones that did were felled on Thursday.
Stephen, Philip, Dave, Hap, Adrian and John were at Throstle Green.
Geoff, Cath, Tanya, Sophie and Jess were at Scammonden deguarding.
Back to Throstle Green Farm for another (short) morning of felling and logging. We were: Stephen, myself, Dave and John. Still work to do on Saturday.

Another morning of two halves.
Myself, Philip, Stephen, Hap, Adrian, John and Dave were at Throstle Green Farm to fell some trees growing too close to the roadside. Philip and Stephen had their chainsaws and everyone had full PPE. We had to buy a winch and some cable in order to fell a couple of these safely.
Meanwhile, at Scammonden, Geoff (birthday boy), Jess, Lee ,Sophie, Steve, Jon and Tess were carrying on the reclamation work.

Some gentle electronica this week.
Continued work at the same spot at Scammonden as last week then down to the bottom of the hill in a Hap-inspired coda to finish off removing guards from the hawthorn we started on a couple of weeks ago. Weather bright but decidely cold in the brisk northerly, though it warmed up a bit as time wore on, and it was a thoroughly enyoyable morning. Still more guard removal and remedial work to do on the oak and rowan at the top. We were Lee, Jess, Adrian, Hap and Geoff.
