Was just looking back over this thread (9 and a half years !!) and it gives a wonderful record of the work done, challenges and progress. Maybe someone is writing up the experience ? Be a nice record of its history. (Not to mention the community spirit it has nurtured).

Met Maz this morning on the Fields and had a chat. Nice to actually put a face to a name.
Thanks for coming and saying "hello"

Good to meet you too, Jan! Hope to make it along to one of the volunteer sessions soon.

Just a quick update:

We asked advice about the burnt area from the Ranger who used to be assigned to us before Council cuts. (She is nw based at Sheldon Country Park).

This is her reply:

Re the regeneration, I suggest you let it grow back naturally and observe what comes.
You might be surprized by what crops up – flowers wise.
You could record the comeback with photo’s.
Bramble pulling might be good then, if this starts to take over there.
While it is freshly burnt it is best not to go on it or disturb it, it can contain harmful material.
What we need is some rain and plenty of it over some months to flush some of the carbon off.

Just observe it.

We will be taping it off when we go over on Tuesday to water the Orchard.
Will let you know what grows but will be keeping brambles down as much as possible.
