What a glorious spring day - I just had to be outside! First I spent a morning with Sheffield and Rotherham wildlife Trust in one of Sheffield's smallest nature reserves, Sunnybank. This morning's main task was to clear some tree cuttings that had been dumped. It looked quite pretty, covered in yellow blossom. We trimmed them and wove them into some "dead hedging" that has been created to deter people cutting through certain areas. By the time we'd finished, we managed to clear it all and had quite a substantial, yet festively colourful hedge!
After a quick outdoor swim in the sunshine and a pitstop for lunch, I headed to join the community forestry team for some tree planting. We were creating a "tiny forest" of water loving Willow, Birch and Hazel to help drink up the water that collects as the area is used "sustainable urban drainage" preventing flooding.
A full and satisfying day with lots achieved!
