We only had 4 volunteers on our recent litter pick but we cleared 6 large bags of rubbish and several large items including
a car wheel and tyre and parts of an old motorcycle.

We will be clearing the last patch of privet and hawthorn on the part of Cardboard Hill we have been working on recently.
We usually finish workday 1pm
The signs are that the hill will be grazed in the not to distant future.
The weather forecast for Sunday is for freezing cold temperatures but clambering up and down the steep bank soon warms you up!

We will be continuing to clear scrub from the steep south facing bank that we have worked on previously but will start at the top and work down this time.
The farmer has cleared a lot of the scrub on the less steep hill to the north but this bank is too steep for most machines.
