Our first weekender for a while and we are back at the bit south of Cawston Bridleway bridge.

The path runs in a roughly south-westerly direction so the edge of the path is never going to get full sun, unless we make it wavy with loads of sheltered scallops, where micro-habitats can evolve in that south facing edge of each scallop.

You can see how the sunlight is hitting the edge already. We can seed with wildflowers in the Spring to create a decent transition from short path grass to longer grass and wildflowers to bramble scrub and woodland.

We also started to work on the overhanging tree branches that are blocking out sunlight.

Again, we can see how the sunlight is getting to the edge to create wildlife-rich habitat.

We have some new tools on the way to help cut back the overhanging tree branches and create that flat-bottomed V profile. Thank you to our generous Patrons for enabling us to make this happen.

Hopefully we get this section finished by the end of October. I am not around this Wednesday (19th) morning but if anyone wants to carry on, you can see what we are looking for.

Until next time!
