Last week our team of eager volunteers were hard at work
once again, helping us make great progress with scrub clearance at North
Duffield Carrs on Tuesday, and North Duffield Ings on Thursday – willows were
lopped, hawthorns were topped and a good day was had by all!
Working in glorious sunshine (complete contrast to the drenching
everyone experienced the previous week!), the team did a great job of
continuing to lower the height of the hawthorns – thus reducing the number of
perching posts for crows, whilst maintaining close and dense bushes for
breeding buntings and warblers. Throughout the day more willows were also
removed, with the cuttings added to last week’s pile, ready for burning next
week.
