The recent cold temperatures have not put off Foxglove's dedicated team of volunteers! Work has focused on completing this year's willow coppice. The usual boggy ground has been made firm by the frost which was a pleasant surprise.

This task was made more difficult as the woodchips were frozen solid.

Once the pile was broken up it was good fun to throw the chippings around!

Visitors may have noticed that quite a few bridges are currently out of bounds. We apologise for any inconvenience and are working hard to re-open them as soon as possible.
