Lakeside work at Chorlton Water Park

November 24, 2013 by Julian

Seven volunteers, a warden and a dog were out today to do some work at the edge of the lake in Chorlton Water Park.  We were removing some of the self-seeded trees – mainly alder – to increase the space and light to allow other waterside species to flourish.  A slightly grey day, but maybe that allowed some of the fine autumn colours to stand out and look their best!
