Work continues on the reed bed

Thursday, January 30th 2014

Work continued today on the area of reed bed which we cut yesterday. There was a lot of material to move across slippery ground and it was a slow start to get the fire going with everything being so wet, but by the end of the day the team had done a great job, all the reeds cleared and the site looking nice and smart again.

In the workshop volunteers spent time mending a part of the quad bike and fixing a nest box for Goosander.

Thank you all for your hard work.

We've had two new volunteers this week, so to welcome Ken and Pete to the Foxglove team. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer on the reserve please contact Adam or Lizzie on 07754 270980 or on foxglovelnr@btinternet.com.
