Thank you to Mark and the BTCV volunteers who did a further day’s work on Adel Bog – a day of constant rain and drizzle. Respect! The focus today was on clearing the bog of purple moor grass and brambles. The next step is to clear saplings from the body and the perimeter of the bog.
One of the volunteers dug a trial hole to find the depth of the water table, and it is about 45 centimetres below the surface. We could see the water trickling into the hole.
We now need over the next year to monitor the effects of the work we have done so far.
