A Hive of Activity

Wednesday, February 9th 2011

The new edge to the lake was marked out on the ground today by Neil the designer. This meant that the volunteers could clear any trees and scrub remaining in the way of the future works. A path was cut out through the Blackthorn, this will be part of the new wheelchair friendly path along the side of the lake. Students from the Dales School joined in with the volunteers and helped to cut and drag brash.

The sunny weather has encouraged these beautiful catkins to flower on this Alder and a Toad was seen by the lake.
