Clearing the Reed Sweet Grass
Steve Joul led an intrepid team of volunteers in clearing Reed Sweet Grass from the pond. Reed Sweet Grass is an introduced species which is extremely vigorous and taking over the pond. We cleared about a third of the pond – it is important not to remove too much so as to cause minimum disturbance to the small animals in the pond.
While Steve and his team were in the pond, another group of us were clearing vegetation from the Slabbering Baby.

Afterwards a binbag or rubbish (cans, bottles and crisp bags) were picked up and disposed of.
