Woodland maintenance

Sunday, October 11th 2009

he weather was fine for today's Autumn walk. On the way around numerous fungi were spotted including Sulpher Tufts, Hare's Foot Inkcap and Candle Snuff (also known as Dead Man's Fingers)!

Meanwhile Elizabeth worked on an Autumn trail for half term and Raymond and Tony did lots of woodland maintenance work and filled the hoppers. Boys and their toys!
