Today we were litter picking and continuing with our mission to clear saplings and bracken from Adel Moor.
It was a fine day and we had a good turn out. Apart from that, your correspondent cannot remember much about it as it was six week ago.
However, one thing that was particularly memorable was that one or two dog owners are allowing their dog to perform its business on the main path traversing the moor and not bothering to pick it up. There were lots of particularly large deposits all along the path and one of our members, a dog owner, volunteered to collect it all up. It took some time.
Your correspondent feels nauseous just thinking about it.
In addition, one of the rangers has advised your correspondent that when he was recently working on the moor he found a number of black doggie doo doo bags thrown into the heather.
Apart from the sheer unpleasantness of having dog faeces all over the place, it also seriously damages the habitat.
Apart from that, it was really good morning: we cleared a lot of bracken and saplings from the moor, and it was looking particularly fine today.
