Upsetting to find on Decembr 29th that someone had set fire to one of the 2 benches that MCT had installed on the site in earlier years.  They cost over £400 each when new so we will investigate if restoration is possible.

Encouraging to see the primroses starting to flower in mid December’

Heavy morning frost on 1st December 2019 so Malcolm and James concentrated on potting on assorted wildflower seedlings that will be hardened off and planted out next year.

In the afternoon we prepared some strips for establishing Yellow Rattle from seed.  Hopefully the seedlings will appear early in Spring next year.

Beautiful day on Sunday 10th Nov. for Malcolm, Adam, Holly and Louise to do more leaf clearing, mowing beside Nelsons Lane and planting more wild Foxgloves.

Our volunteers are busy with the usual late Autumn/early winter activities.  These include finishing mowing the meadow and removing trimmed material, clearing fallen leaves from paths before they produce mud and pruning overgrown and/or mis-shapen trees.

We keep path overhang under control to reduce litter fall and keep the path lighter.
