Today we were continuing with the hedge laying. A lot of litter was cleared and the volunteers carried out preparation work making safe working areas for people to start laying pleachers, and lopping and sawing unsuitable branches with great gusto.
Local people walking by, smiled and thanked the party, as they thought that the public path the hedge was running parallel to, much improved. The staff at the centre commented in a positive manner too.
Lots of pleachers were laid. Apart from some drizzly rain threatening to spoil things in the latter part of the day, everyone seemed to gain a great sense of enjoyment and achievement from all the efforts of the team.
Despite the stirling efforts of the group the task is not finished and we are returning there on Friday 28th to finish off. We will re-schedule the trip to rodley in the New Year.
