A woodland path at Chorlton Water Park

July 28, 2013 by Julian

With the simultaneous arrival of the holiday season and rather mixed weather, there was only a small contingent (four!) of us hardy conservation volunteers in action at Chorlton Water Park today, along with warden Richard.  The day kindly withheld its heaviest deluge until the middle of the afternoon though, just after we had finished. 

Our work was to help with the maintenance of a path through the woods on the southern side of the lake.  We cleared the overgrown edges and re-covered the path with woodchip, to maintain it as an accessible route and to encourage people to explore and enjoy this lovely little piece of woodland adjacent to the River Mersey.  The river, incidentally, was looking unusually high after last night’s heavy rain – higher in the morning than in the afternoon when these pictures were taken.
