Saturday 16 October 2010: Breakin’ rocks up here on the chain gang, breaking rocks up, serving’ my time…

Not actually breaking rocks, but uprooting saplings on Adel Moor to enable the heather to re-establish itself.  Apparently, there is so much heather seed in the soil that the moor will regenerate itself quite quickly.

While some of us were labouring on the moor, a team of four Friends led by Steve Joul were clearing reed sweet grass from the pond.

Another beautiful morning when we had great company and we went home for a hearty lunch with a sense of something worthwhile accomplished.
