Today’s outing for us conservation volunteers was to help Ed from the Cheshire East Rangers with work on the Middlewood Way. We helped with replacing some steps and then the removal of encroaching vegetation from part of the Way, to stop the narrowing of the path. Lots of walkers, dogs, cyclists and horse-riders passed by to appreciate and benefit from our efforts and – best of all – the rain didn’t put in an appearance until after we had finished!
