As has been the case in the last few years, our final activity for 2023 was to continue with the removal of invasive rhododendron from Spud Wood, a Woodland Trust site looked after by the Friends group. The few of us braving the cold enjoyed a lovely wintry woodland, complete with holly berries and frequently visiting robins, and made good progress in expanding the rhododendron-free areas.
Looking forward to 2024’s activities – first up, hedgelaying on the Middlewood Way on the 21 January…!
