Pinfold

Geoff, Jess, Dianne, Dan, Philip H. and Ben de-guarded this site today. We left a few on some of the more spindly oaks and sweet chestnuts. Spoke to Chris the owner at the end and he will remove these in due course.

 

One patch of trees was mostly dead (about 25). Don't know why but probably lack of water. Maybe beat up at some point - Chris was keen and he spoke about more trees on the site. There isn't a great deal of room but worth looking at I think.

 

We retrieved 45 good deer stakes which are now in the polytunnel. 

On the beach

An hours solo bracken bashing, then beachcombing on the sand at Butterley. Found a fragment of slipware (18th century plate?) Along with the usual broken willow pattern stuff. And a few beer cans.

A bit of appropriate Neil Young?

Nursery

 A day tidying up the nursery. Geoff, Dave, Jim, Dan, Ben, Jess, Tanya, Philip H., Dianne and Philip B.

Dogwood

 Some light guard removal at Rochdale Road. Geoff, Dianne, Jess, Steve and Dan.
