Thanks to our new “weekend” Volunteer crew who turned up today and helped remove and cut back the small self-set trees by the lake. A lot of conservation / environmental management is destructive but these little ones in the long term would impact the boggy edge habitat so it’s important they are removed.
During the dry summer of 2022, the lake level dropped in the dry weather making it easy to access the edges and clear debris.
