Greetings All,
There’ll be a volunteer session at Fairfield Orchard, Fauna and Flora this
Saturday, September 10th, starting at 10.00am and finishing at around
1.00pm.
The session will be led on this occasion by Mick Short who is more than
capable.
On the agenda:
Weed and tidy the wildflower plot, trimming back the overhanging grass.
(N.B. the four plants that flowered this summer were all annuals and will
have shed seed. Hopefully if we give them a chance by keeping the
competition at bay they will come again.)
Cut back and dig out the bramble overhanging the Fauna path.
Cut back and dig out the bramble overhanging in Carr House Meadow (between
the Meadow and the Gun Range).
The vista viewpoints opposite the Orchard benches have been cut back but
need lowering a little more.
The Alder Pond bund needs strengthening especially on its western end.
Cut back self seeded saplings throughout the Orchard.
And that’s your lot for now,
Best wishes,
Jonathan.
