Nature’s Gym volunteers create new footpath

A merry bunch of nature’s Gym voluteers braved the chilly weather on Saturday 5th March to improve one of the footpaths in Ladywell and Brockley Cemeteries.  They started by cutting back some of the bramble to widen the path a little.  They then created a hurdle fenace at the start of the path and laid woodchip, this was so that the path had greater definition.

 

  

Everyone worked very hard to get the job finished and as you can see were very proud of their handywork!  Hopefully the footpath through the ‘wild area’ will be used well by all those that visit the cemetery.  I am sure we will be back because there is plenty more work to be done!

How much wood does a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?

 

The wonderful Nature’s Gym volunteers worked hard on building a new woodchip footpath through a school nature area.  Using spades mattocks and forks, they started by digging out the turf so that the woodship had something to sit in!  Edging was then put along the sides of the footpath before woodchip was wheelbarrowed in an raked along the path.  They even found time to build a stag beetle loggery!  Great work, well done!
