Woodland work in Priory Gardens

October 19, 2014 by Julian

Last Sunday (12th October) members of SACV were in action in the woods at Priory Gardens again, on behalf of the Red Rose Forest.  Parts of this woodland, which was probably planted a few decades ago, are rather species-limited, so the work was to remove some of the smaller saplings of sycamore and Norway maple in order to open up the woodland floor and encourage a greater diversity.  Habitat piles were created with the cut material for the benefit of wildlife.  Once again at this site we were lucky to have some very fine weather – a great autumn day to be spent in the woodland’s dappled shade!
