A rough haircut

BTCV have been in 'the park' of late. In the last few weeks, Princes Trust volunteers helped create & enhance glades along the woodland walk. Weekday Conservation Team volunteers constructed some willow spiling along the far side of the main lake (in the wintering wildfowl section) and the 'rough' has had a hair cut.

The Rough had a second, more extreme, haircut during early March 2009; this completes this winter's management.
Next winter we'll do some "extreme gardening" on the other side of the survey area!
