MCT Activities in January & February 2019

Why not come to our AGM at 7.30 on Feb 5th at Dringhouses Library  to hear about our work over the past year and discuss future possible plans?

More restoration of width of the main path on Sunday Jan. 20th, this time at the Nelsons Lane gate end.  Many thanks to James, Ethan and Holly who helped Malcolm and Louise.  We managed about 45 ft on the west side of the path.

It’s hard to believe we’re already well into 2019, but a Happy New Year anyway.  Mayfields is looking  good for the time of year after all the efforts our volunteers put in through Autumn and early Winter.  Last year at this time we were busy clearing excess Autumn leaves from verges etc.  As we managed that earlier we are now starting to trim the path verges where grass and roots from trees are encroaching onto the main path.  We do this at regular intervals to stop the path disappearing over a few years. You can hear a summary of our efforts over 2018 if you go to the AGM at Dringhouses Library in the evening on February 5th.

Look carefully and you can see on the left the beneficial effect of scraping away about 10 inches of encroaching grass and the soil forming around it.
