What a beautiful sunny morning in the forest. We were at one of the forest’s SSSIs, removing dead grass and thatch (combing and raking by hand not cutting!) to assist with the management of this sensitive and waterlogged area. Not sure you can see a huge difference in the before and after shots, but the pile at the end gives you an idea! Now the ponies, who are also being used to graze the area, will have better access.
A satisfying task and one which we will return to later in the year. And we all managed not to lose our wellies – although it came perilously close at some points!
