Extra help from Hydrock

On Wednesday 23rd May 20 volunteers from local engineering firm Hydrock came and helped with our management at Filnore Woods.

We split them into four groups.  Group 1 under Peter's supervision tackled the overgrown cowshed site.  This is where we are trying to create a fire circle.

The hope is that pyromaniacs and fire starters will be persuaded to have their fires here instead of under the trees

 Group 2 set about improving the path which we started on our previous work day.

Sticks were laid across the path and bedded down with earth and woodchip.

Group three did more clearing round our hill top pond behind the brambles between posts 3 and 4

And group 4 got to grips with the scythes, after some instruction, and cleared a large area by the memorial lime trees.

Now this is cleared it will be much easier to maintain as a short grass habitat.

A big thank you to all the volunteers from Hydrock and also to Peter, Jim, Frank and Chris who guided and supervised the workers.
