Another good turn out and yet another beautiful morning.
Mary and Graham picked up litter on Crag Lane, Buck Stone Road and the copse opposite Tesco’s, while five of us headed off down to the Seven Arches to clear vegetation from the Meanwood Valley Trail.
In an hour and a half we managed to make a massive difference – completely opening up the path from two or three feet wide to seven or eight feet.
Before…
…and after!
From experience, if we only cut back vegetation by a foot or so, it grows back even further in a year. We therefore cut the vegetation right back and where the main culprit was brambles, we pulled them up by the roots as far as we could.
Before…
…and after
We all enjoyed ourselves and felt a great sense of achievement.
