Wed 9th Jan 2008 - Alverstone Marsh



And so we start on 2008.....! Our venue this week was back at an old favourite of Green Gymers - Alverstone Nature Reserve - to do what we are really good at......land clearance. The before and after pictures above shows exactly what can be achieved in a morning. The drainage ditch was very overgrown with willow and is due to be dredged in the near future - so we were tasked to cut it all back and make habitat piles getting it all ready for the JCB to work on the banks. Considering the number of people that are suffering from either the cold or sickness viruses that seem to be doing the rounds at the moment, we had a good turn out. The weather was kind to us with a dry morning - something of a rarity recently.
Many thanks to Carrie for the pictures.
