Gobions Work Party Sunday 25th April 2004

What a wonderful day!

We had a full team out today and managed to re-cover several yards of path on the central north section of the woods. Thanks to our Bobcat and the trusty Benford Dump Truck, we were able to lay about 2.5 tonnes of roadstone onto terram along the path. For those who may not know, terram is a water filter membrane which allows rain water to run through and stops the roadstone from simply sinking into the mud.

Next week we are planning to finish our work on the Brazier plantation, cutting back the sycamores and elder to allow the mower in to keep down the competition from the indigenous species.


We saw some cowslips this morning - it's been a long time since we saw any in the West Fields. Please let us know of anything you see along your walks. You can contact me on gobions_woodland_trust@hotmail.com or i.aitken@ntlworld.com


Happy walking
