Hold on

Dead grass, but also unwell plants. Hold on little plants!

This week we were weeding a previously planted site above Slaithwaite. Most of the plants looked good, but a few had been damaged by some over enthusiastic use of weedkiller.

We were; myself, Philip H., Dianne, Philip B., Dave, Jim, Peter, Geoff, Sam, Ptol and Matthew.

Fire in the hole

That's a lot of bags.

This morning we were in WillyKay Clough, Marsden Moor,  helping the National Trust clear up after the most recent moor fire.  A lot of the recently planted trees and their deer tubes got burned, so we were removing the burnt plastic

We were myself, Sarah, Matthew, Paul, Philip H., Dianne, Sophie, Alastair, Stephen, Tanya, Dan, and Cat from the National Trust.

We filled 9 builders bulk bags.

Matthew!

Where we were

Crimble!

Geoff, Dave, Hap, Chayley and Steve visited Clough to collect some old tree guards that a local resident had brought to our attention.
