Nettlebed Commons

A cold but dry morning was spent on Nettlebed Commons with several different tasks. Some of us starting by raking up and removing the brush cuttings at the bottom end of the heather patch at Priest Hill. It was a good way to get nice and warm before we joined the gang who were cutting out gorse, and pulling brambles and honeysuckles from between the heather plants. It was an advantage to be doing this now as the ground is so wet that the roots came out so much more easily. Another group were cutting back Blackthorn to make the path wider. We were very well sustained by Lindsay Hasler’s delicious apple cake.”
