It was a warm morning for this month's work party.

We cleared Keith's pond and the stream from the main pond. There was a chance for some more side path opening and general cutting back of overhanging brambles.

Our younger volunteers cleared three bags of litter and old tree guards.

Thanks to everyone for your hard work.

Hope to see you 12th September for our next work party, followed by the AGM.

Blackberries!

The prolonged hot weather has ripened the berries earlier. Just a reminder if you are collecting some for your own use, we have our Harvest Home 10th October where we share food and drink made from items foraged around the reserve. Ideal for preserved or frozen fruit in cakes or jam etc.

Blackberry gin anyone?
