We made great progress today, and the next one is our weekender (Sat 15th 10-to-12).
A speeded up clip of where we got to…
Next one is either carrying on clearing the easterly side to the bridge, or come back and clear a metre deep of the westerly side.
We also need to get rid of the overhanging tree canopy so that the profile of the path resembles a flat bottomed V \_/ rather than a flat bottomed O (_). This is to really maximise the sunlight hitting the edges of the path and creating ideal opportunities for wildflowers to grow and the wildlife that then thrives on the edges.
We are hoping to get this side of the bridge finished by the end of October. We are ahead of plan at the moment.
Mike cleared a little further south towards Potford Dam.
If you want to join in, just pop along. The dates and places are always published on the right-hand side of the blog. Or if you want to contribute financially, click on the Patron link and bung us a couple of quid a month. The yearly renewal for this blog and our public liability insurance are due soon and these are our biggest costs by far.
I cannot do Wednesday next week (19th) but if anyone else wants to lead it, feel free.

Sorry, we got back from Spain at 1am today. Was all for going with my three children, but come 9am and there was no way that any of them wanted to step out of the house!! Thanks for doing a bit. Normal service from next week when all back at school.
