Weekly Round Up

Friday, July 3rd 2020

Orchids continue to flourish all over the reserve. The Field Centre garden is absolutely full of them at the moment and it is difficult to access the net ride without standing on them!

Staff and volunteers worked on improving a small section of footpath throughout the week. A power barrow really helped to speed up the job.

Fine stone dust was spread over the path to make it smoother and more wheelchair friendly.

Hayley learned a new skill; operating a wacker plate to compact the surface!

Metal strips for new waymarker posts were also sanded down and prepared for painting. These will be sprayed red and yellow next week when the weather is suitable.

A reminder that the reserve is now open. Visitors are requested to respect the 2 metre social distancing rule and observe any other safety signs and notices to help keep everyone safe. Please enjoy your visit and remember that it is your responsibility to follow the new guidance on staying safe outside your home.

Although we are not yet working as a group of volunteers, some people have started to trickle back and work as individuals or with other members of the same household on tasks around the reserve. If you would like to do some volunteering then you can call or email us to arrange a time. In order to minimise contact we are trying to allocate jobs at different times across the week. We hope to have the group up and running again as soon as the Government and MOD guidelines allow for this to happen. Our main priority is to keep everyone safe!
