Boar's Well UNR last week

Ok, so this is a little late (a week!), and I didn't actually arrive until 30 mins before we packed up, but there are still a few things to report.

One of the big tasks was to clear the pond/spring area from reeds that have grown up and nearly filled the space. It was wet, mucky work! (of course only for 20 mins for me, but a long day for others) There was a huge pile of reeds left by the end, that would have had to be cleared away the next day. They have to stay near the water for a while so that any creatures that get pulled out with them can crawl back into the water.

Other volunteers tackled overgrown paths; some even had the scythes out. There was also the remains of a pretty large looking tree that had to be sawn into smaller pieces - someone had been busy.(as usual not me!)

UNR - Urban Nature Reserve!
