The schedule was telling us to re-stain our picnic benches ready for the spring. The hoar frost told us different!!

So we extended our wildflower meadow slightly, and made it a bit more even on both sides of the path.

The path in general needs to be about 3 metres wide for cyclists and walkers to be able to share it without compromising each other. This is advice from Sustrans, so don’t go shooting the messenger!!

We also repaired our woodpecker ravaged bird-boxes and put up the ones that needed repair from last season.

Contrary to popular belief, the shiny metal plates do not scare or deter the birds using the nesting boxes.

We have more Cawston Greenway mugs available, modelled by our wonderful Head of Retail, Ruby.

Just head to the shop if you would like one. More exciting merchandise is on the way so keep your eyes peeled.

A quick YouTube of the area before we started today. Wonderful views as always.

Well that’s about it for this week, and a few bits from last week added in. Keep the faith – it’s going to look amazing from April onwards.

If you want to get involved pop along and see if it’s for you, or PATRON PATRON PATRON if you want to help the project financially. Just £2 a month multiplied by 40 or so people means we can keep delivering the good stuff. At the moment our costs are outstripping our income, but we really don’t want to be just another green path with nettles and bramble scrub dominating the edges.

Next week we are at the snowdrop area trying to rebuild the bench on the A-frame that Rugby Borough Council gave us about 12 or so years ago. There is a sad story attached to this, so it’s a bit close to my heart and maybe if I can find the right words, I will share it.

Hope you enjoyed reading and until next time!
