NCVs' noses back to the grindstone!
Yes indeed. As the Christmas and New Year festivities were long over the NCVs headed off to Ellington Banks for another day scrub clearance. Not a bad place to start off the new year of conservation tasks - especially given that the day was beautifully sunny!.
Right - let's get going!
That's a nice bit of brash.
These single pieces of brash soon start to add up don't they?
They certainly do. Perhaps we need to start to deal with the backlog?
Well - let's shift them over here...
...and make a bit of a brash pile with them.
Here's a handy pallet. Shall we make a fire and get rid of the rest on this?
Now that's more like it. A nice blaze.
It soon turns the brash...
...into ash.
The Black Spectre of Doom stalked the lunchtime picnic site,
but nobody seemed to notice it.
Jan sat all alone - trying his best to protect the group from his cold germs.
Will - having taken on fire lighting duties -
had no need to worry about germs.
He smelt like a kipper in his fumigated outfit.
A rather nice veteran tree was discovered en route to the work area.
Quick as a wink the NCVs gave it a hug to check its girth.
Even the heather moorland had fires burning at Dallowgill.
It was definitely a good day for getting rid of unwanted vegetation!
