Using branches previously cut up (see January 2024 post ‘Tackling a Fallen Tree’) a natural barrier using hedge laying type techniques has recently been built by Friends’ volunteers alongside the River Chor near the wildflower meadow.
The barrier, about 1 metre high by approximately 15 metres long, will restrict access to the river which has steep sides at this point. The work has also left clear views of daffodil clusters that will soon be in flower and the barrier will hopefully be a refuge for wildlife.
