New arrival

The good news for December 2021 was the receipt of a 4 wheeler Kawasaki Mule. This will help enormously in transporting all of the necessary tools, plants, materials etc to the far reaches of the park and beyond.

Our first job using 'Zak', was to clear a drain-off area near the Church Street entrance and remove scrub & sycamore on the corner of a planted tree bed next to the dead 'climbing tree'.




Scrub & sycamore cleared and deposited into the woods to decompose naturally.

We were now ready to commence planting the young hazel trees in the cleared 'nuttery' area.



Christmas was now approaching, so time to collect some holly & ivy for decorations before making our way to the parish council office for a Christmas lunch.

During the break for Christmas and the New Year, I managed a couple of sessions litter picking. I covered virtually all of the park on both occasions and managed to fill 4 sacks of rubbish, bottles & cans! 😀 

Looking forward to 2022!
