Today a couple of us have been busying ourselves continuing with the repair of the boardwalk in the woodland. We reinforced the frame, screwed the ends onto the frame and started to attach the boards onto it.

It is starting to come together, a few more boards and some chicken wire and the boardwalk will be open for business again.

A few holes yet to fill, but the first walk across proved successful!

Meanwhile, the rest of the Thursday volunteer team continued work in the Willow coppice, including felling Hawthorn and coppicing the Willow. Lots of oak saplings were found scattered throughout the coppice, which were protected from the deer with tree tubes.
