Our work on the greenway is progressing and today we made further good progress. Two tasks were carried out, the important job of planting and replanting the whips. There is a good mixture of native trees including Oak, Hazel Holly and Birch which when they grow will make a significant improvement to the environment and biodiversity locally. It appears though that the dogs like to chew the canes, so this and other pressures will be a challenge to the trees developing.
We also worked on the seating area, but as the benches are not now being delivered until next week we concentrated on getting the surfacing in place. We found that we were a couple of bags short so will have to complete this next week. Everyone had to work hard to complete their share of the work today, but it was also a good day to be out and there were positive comments from local people. The days task was followed by a User Forum meeting and social that was also well attended and enjoyed by the group.
Today we were a group of 14.
