Monday 7 October

Finally, the weather allowed us to meet today, with 12 mustering at the Barn.

We decided the work in the Nature Park, and in particular the new Pond, needed more guidance, particularly in light of recent observations by the Council Ranger. We shall request a meeting at his convenience.

One member initially went up to Stonecross Field to plant some meadowsweet by the scrape, a plant that enjoys wet and boggy conditions. Permission had been granted beforehand. 

He then joined the rest of us, by the White Steps, where we used the fine surfacing material to fill in the areas that were becoming muddy and would only get worse. We were all surprised by how much was still there, after at least 2 years.
