Getting results


Back in the winter we were pollarding the willow in the willow grove. Six months later we have been rewarded with flourishing new willow growth on the pollards, and a  fine collection of ferns that have sprung up in the increased light.


Also responding to the increased light levels are these foxgloves near the new OC2  car park. These have started to appear where none have been before because the bracken has been kept well under control. The grass is rushing in too, and bluebells. Next year we will probably mow this area at the end of the Summer.
