Plantation Update

The volunteers headed down to the old Sitka Spruce plantation first thing to burn the piles of brash left from clear felling the area. Three bonfires were lit, and as usual everyone pitched in to make light work of the task.
It was nice, at the end of the day, to see the progress we had made clearing a small part of this block.
Whilst we were working burning some of the brash, Robin was on the other side of the plantation, felling trees at an amazing rate. I'm sure we couldn't have been burning brash as fast as he was creating it!
John also got a photo of a Speckled Wood butterfly sitting on some of the shavings left by the chainsaw; this is late in the season so may be the last chance we get to see them this year.
