We had a last minute change of plan. The triangle of benches are ready but we just couldn’t get them on-site today.

So we worked on the secondary path south of the birdfeeder clearing. We broke through and we now just need to wait until later in September to really clear it out and make a decent wildlife hedge along the edge.

Remember, it is all about the edge and sunshine, and a very mixed and different aged canopy of trees above, to support a biodiverse amount of wildlife.

According to The Wildlife Trust, the canopy needs lots of gaps to allow sunshine in, wildflowers and grasses then grow, insects move in, birds move in and mammals move in.

Plus, it creates a smashing there-and-back non-linear walk with super views across the wildflower meadows.

Great day today, but this really made it…

Victoria baked a super lemon drizzle cake and we just had a picnic!! The amount of people who came past and had a look of “WOW!!” in their eyes was incredible.

If you want to join in – you know the drill. Just page back on previous blogs if you need a reminder but “biscuits” feature a lot!!

Next week we are between the Cawston Underpass and Berrybanks just knocking back the path.

Until next time!
