We continued with the conservatin lay of Holly and Hawthorn on the Northern side of the reservoir pond at #AshawncuttingLNR and......
Looking Northwards over the pond. The once overhanging Willow stumps can be seen below the conservation layed Holly and Hawthorn. A closer view looking Northwards across the pond showing the layed Holly and thorn and on the right a cleared patch of Snowberry. The pond is getting a lot more light now. Looking through the new gap to the cleared Snowberry patch. #invasiveplants Looking through the new gap gives a view over the pond.. Theconservation lay has produced a good thick hedge already but there's more to be done yet.
