Many hands made light work last Saturday, and a very productive day it was too .............
One of the scheduled projects was to build an Old Copse woodland growing area in which we plan to experiment with growing fruit and vegetables in three large raised beds protected by deer fencing. It's located near to the entrance as this is one of the sunniest spots in the wood, and near to the beehives whose occupants we hope will make a good job of pollinating future crops.

Cabin upgrade. Since the cabin was built in 2014 we've been meaning to install a modest solar system and now it's done and we have light at the flick of a switch - what luxury.
A second huge branch fell off one of our veteran beech trees. It must have happened very recently. The first huge section fell down last year, and as it was now seasoned the work party made a fast job of cutting up the timber and winching it up to the Ride.
The inside of the branch that broke away from the main trunk to reveal the ancient, rotten wood .
Plenty of Beech fire wood for next winter
As ever, many thanks to Mark and his team for all their much appreciated hard work.
