Woodland and pond work at Priory Gardens

April 5, 2014 by Julian

Last Sunday (30th March) SACV volunteers were out in Priory Gardens in Sale. This woodland site is now managed by the Red Rose Forest. One task was to do some woodland management near the entrance to the site from Dane Road – in particular to carry out some thinning to allow more light through to parts of the wood. The second task was to start to do some clearing of reeds to try to open up a pond which is in danger of silting up. We were lucky to have a very warm spring day for the work – great to be outside!  We’ll be back at this site helping with further work on Sunday 13th April so come along then if you’d be interested in getting involved!
