Tuesday, 5th March 2019 ... weekly volunteers


Description:Present: Alan, Ray, Mike p, Mike m, Ian, Keith, Bob, Stuart, David a, David w, Mark, Pat, Paul, John b, Bernard, and Martin Activities: - looked the ponies - two bonfires of brash from Mark m-t cutting of birch on the pillow mound near stony pond - moved and stacked most of the logs - Mike p marked possible additional drainage channels for the path down from high beeches - made some berms from old log piles to slow run off down slope from the pond near high beeches - told a Lady off for refusing to put her dog on the lead - small amount of log splitting Observations: - Crossbills, buzzards, tree creepers, 100+ redpolls - nice weather, slight sw breeze - discussed the 2 out of control fires last week on the forest. Maybe right to protect the volunteers, but rangers must have been mad - hard work today, with a lot done Martin
