A Busy Few Days in Holyland Wood
My appeal for help to cut back the edge of the boardwalk resulted in Dave coming forward offering to carry out the work prior to our planned Work Party.
The results speak for themselves. We are very grateful for his hard work.
Almost immediately afterwards a couple of volunteers went along the boardwalk with brooms to sweep away the cuttings.
Our Saturday 8th July Work Party attracted a hard-core team of volunteers who spent a couple of hours in the reed bed removing hundreds of Himalayan Balsam plants.
It would be foolish to think that we have pulled every plant, but we were pretty pleased with our work.
We are now planning another Volunteer Work Party in late July to pull any new Balsam plants that appear and we have missed.
Whilst we had the tools available we cut back overhanging foliage in the car park and removed a couple of low hanging tree branches.
The Woods and Boardwalk are always a delight to visit and appreciate but after a bit of maintenance and tidying they look at their best now.
Thank you to everyone who has helped to keep Holyland Wood open for the community to enjoy.
Look out for news of our next Volunteer Work Party.
