On Tuesday we will, weather permitting, continue with the coppicing at Banstead Wood. Meet at the Park Farm car park at 10:00hrs. As usual, if the weather is as bad as forecast, I will cancel the task by email before 09:00hrs on the day.
Visit the 'Featured Creatures' page of our website www.thewoodchips.org for a selection of the Ladybirds from the site. The survey for more Ladybird species will continue through next year and I am looking for someone to assist in finding them .... anyone interested?
On Tuesday we will continue with the cut/rake/remove at The Knoll.
Meet at the Ramblers Rest car park at 10:00hrs. See you there. The Lagoon has been topped up by the increasingly wet weather and on Sunday was around 60cm (two feet) deep in much of the water area. The force of the water gushing from the drain knocked over some of the Bulrushes (see pic) and the flushed sediment is building up, creating a shallow mudbank at this end of the pool. The plants on the Lagoon meadow continue to flourish – although many are producing berries or seed – and there's even a clump of Kidney Vetch still in flower.
