We had a busy work morning, with 8 volunteers. We did our annual task of clearing the seasonal stream through the wood, so that the winter rains won't overflow and change the nature of the surrounding woodland. One tree had fallen across the stream - it wasn't too big, so we cut it up and moved it away from the stream.

| Cutting vegetation to clear the stream |
 |
| Before - the stream's in there somewhere! |
 |
| After - the stream is now visible |
 |
| We cut through almost as much ivy as wood |
 |
| Translucent bracket fungus |
We also cut back vegetation near the young fruit trees in the Lower Meadow, carried out a litter pick and trimmed back overgrowth on the approach from Sergeant's Farm Bridge.
