This past Sunday SACV members were out at the glorious Tegg’s Nose Country Park, where the work was to help keep a meadow clear of bracken, ragwort and thistles in order to maintain a regionally important population of waxcap fungi and the beautiful mountain pansies. It was a very hot day, so well done to those who were out! Here are some pictures, courtesy of Martin the ranger.

Steps and the path on the Middlewood Way

Today’s outing for us conservation volunteers was to help Ed from the Cheshire East Rangers with work on the Middlewood Way. We helped with replacing some steps and then the removal of encroaching vegetation from part of the Way, to stop the narrowing of the path. Lots of walkers, dogs, cyclists and horse-riders passed by to appreciate and benefit from our efforts and – best of all – the rain didn’t put in an appearance until after we had finished!
