Last week we received some additional, and very welcome
help, as a team of staff from Nestle in York joined us for a day of their
volunteering allowance. The original plan was to work on Wheldrake Ings, helping
the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust complete the boardwalk, but the recent flooding
following last week’s snow melt forced a change of task and location. Instead,
the team headed off to Skipwith Common to complete this winter’s scrub control
programme - helping to maintain the internationally important mix of open wet
and dry heathland communities, which support the special wildlife that visitors
to the Common enjoy. Many thanks to everyone involved for a great days
work and company – you’d all be welcome back anytime – and there is still the
boardwalk to finish off at some point!
