Jess and Sheila went to tackle some more of the ragwort in Ockwells Park, continuing the job started by Wild Maidenhead and Goodgym. We soon got our eye in to tell it apart from the other plants in the meadow, and it was evident that there is still a huge amount there We pulled out as much as we could, and gave ourselves a target of heading for a yellow patch a few yards away. Armfuls later, (and a backwards roly poly from Jess as one plant suddenly gave way) we achieved our goal. We felt that are still only in the foothills of the ragwort mountain, but we have still made a difference.
