Tear the whole thing down

Richard and Philip strategise the destruction.

This morning a handful of us were at a previous planting site, Parkwood, to cut back willow that were overwhelming some blackthorn and shading out ground that could be used for allotment plots. We were: Philip and Stephen on chainsaws, myself, Dave, Kayleigh, and owner Richard. Risk assessment done and signed, PPE worn.

Meanwhile Geoff and Michael were at Scammonden collecting more old tree guards, and a mystery skull (small deer?)

What can a song do to you?

Last full team go at Netherwood. We were: myself, Sophie, Steve, Geoff, Jess, Lee, Murray, Dave, Paul, Tanya, Peter and Philip.

A large number of bags were filled, and a quick survey of the site was done to see whether there was a need for thinning.

More discussion of the CVTS song, and singing, at breaktime.

Cats van bags

Once more up at Netherwood. We were: myself, Geoff, Matthew, Paul, Peter, Tanya, Kayleigh, Dave, Shell, Stephen, and Jess. Hacking our way through the brambles and removing old plastic tree guards.
