The Triangle Is Back
Five wildlife warriors made it today and lugged the heavy bags of Postcrete to get our triangle of benches back in the ground. No matter which way we look at it, there is absolutely no pleasure in carrying the 20 … Continue reading
Active Travel
Nine wildlife warriors turned out today (Kerrie, Marcus, Reece, Dave, Matt, George, Steve, Martin and Paul) and cleared off the last wildflower glade. If we don’t rip it all out it becomes scrub, and the scrub will eventually give way … Continue reading
