Tackling a Fallen Tree
Recently Friends’ volunteers decided to deal with the topmost branches of a large tree that had fallen over the River Chor near to the wildflower meadow.
The result of two hours work was several neatly stacked log piles and a much improved appearance to this part of the Park. The piles may be left to become homes for small wildlife or assembled, akin to a layered hedge, and form a barrier to discourage access to the river.
A Winter Wonderland Comes to the Park
In the last few days the Park has had a covering of snow. Visit the Gallery for more winter scene pictures.
