We haven't been back to the site of the Forest School for a couple of months as the designers and landscapers have been beavering away and making plans for the space. It was fantastic to be back there in daylight and to see how big the space actually is.

We had 2 tasks for the evening, 2 very big tasks:

• take down the fence that was splitting the space in half
• clear as much brambles and weeds as possible to allow the landscapers to see exactly what they're working with

We split into groups and began clearing the space. As it was a shorter run, we had plenty of time to get stuck into the task and make a real difference.

After a missing pruning saw was found, it was time to head back to Glass Mill slightly later than planned but time flies when you're having fun!
