The Final Leg!

Work in the willow coppice block is almost complete with only a few more piles of woodchips left to move. Spirits were high this week as more chips were scattered thinly over the area. 

Students from the Personalised Learning Centre have continued to help with this enormous task.

Many hands make light work!

The remaining brash in the coppice block has now been processed leaving the ground clear for wildflowers to emerge in the spring. 

Larger logs have been moved to create log piles which will form important habitat for wildlife. The damp environment and rotting wood provides shelter and a source of food for a range of invertebrates, small mammals and amphibians. 

A group from the Personnel Recovery Centre were a massive help in extracting the largest logs.

A huge thank you to everyone involved!
