An electric fence has been erected to keep the cows on the uncut section of East meadow, when they arrive.
The rest of the team worked on the fence line removing sycamore and buddleia, undesirable and invasive species which will encroach into the meadow. The shrub and tree species were removed by using tree poppers which pull out the roots, leaving some disturbed and exposed soil. I'll monitor this area in summer to see if arable weeds become apparent. Hopefully doing some habitat work much like a wild boar would!
Most of the material has been moved to the education area where it will be burnt by the Tuesday volunteer team.
Thanks,
Sam
