Today we were back at the Woodland Trust’s Spud Wood. The weather wasn’t as kind as during our visit in January, shifting from hail to bright sunshine and back again, but nonetheless we made some good progress with the coppicing of hazel and some other woodland thinning. We put the possible hedgelaying on hold for today, although we might yet make a start on it when back on 18th March. Thanks again to the Friends of Spud Wood for the welcome and for fortifying us with home-made cake!
