If you think back to when we started, we meekly trimmed back the scrub and treated the  it was a precious thing. Last year we were a lot bolder, but this year we really need to clear back savagely if we are to get the wild flower clearings that we need.

I suggest that we join the two main clearings together by clearing the scrub in between, and then extend each end whilst we remain in cutting.

Next workday is Monday 20th August at the picnic clearing, where the old bridge crosses the greenway, and push on southbound. Start at 12 o’clock.
