Present:
John, Ron, Keith and Martin
Mike delivered some manure.
Activities:
- On South heath, we had two bonfires of the coppiced gorse, from last week.
- Went to the ride between the roller stand and the Ride Junction, NE of the cattle pens. Here we re-pollarded some of silver birch and also coppiced some of the leggy gorse.
- further along on the nw side of the ride, we cut down a large number of small pine saplings. We left the brash in situ, as they were pretty small and unobtrusive.
- Late afternoon we went up to the mature heath, and coppiced some of the extremely leggy and damaged gorse there. We intend to have a number of bonfires on this site, as dragging the brash will be tiring.
Observations:
- Noted that there were quite a few patches of Nail fungus on South Heath, which appear to have matured somewhat from their first sighting on the bird count. Very odd.
