Natural barriers, based on hedge laying techniques, can provide several benefits and this is clearly the case with the latest such construction done recently by Friends’ volunteers. Located alongside the main path up towards the Hall from the Lost Fountain, the new barrier helps to stop people and dogs stumbling across a steep gully, protects a biodiverse river embankment from trampling and will act as a wildlife refuge. Pictured are some of our participating members pleased with their morning’s work.
