A good job for a rainy day!

Thursday, March 27th 2014

Today's volunteers have been keeping dry this afternoon as we cleaned and treated some of the benches from the reserve.

We gathered them in first thing this morning whilst it was still dry before doing a bit of work on the new pools. We have added some more stone to the dams which separate the pools and covered over some of the ruts left by the digger.

This afternoon as the rain came down we kept nice and dry in the workshop rubbing down the benches with wire wool to remove any loose dirt before giving them a coat of wood preserver. Once they are dry they will go back out along the easy access trail ready for our summer visitors.

Thank you for your help today everyone.
