There weren’t many of us, or of the Friends of Longford Park, out today – a day of occasional heavy rain but also good spells of winter brightness. However, we made good progress with various jobs in the park’s wildlife garden: some thinning in the wooded area to allow more light to penetrate, some creation of habitat piles along the fence lines, and some planting of hazel, dogwood, crab-apple etc. at various points in the garden.
