The stylish Finnuala and I had a good session helping the Friends of Peartree Green Nature Reserve clear vegetation along the pathways. Making space for the wild flowers and plants otherwise smothered by the rampant, ever present brambles. A great workout of course and we even managed a quick hot drink and a biscuit. Very welcome as it was a cold, chilly morning. Thank you as always to Phil and all the friends who are always very welcoming and happy to see new faces. Back again later in the month for another session.

I joined the lovely Friends of Peartree Green for another conservation session this morning. Phil had organised a nice spot of bramble clearance which is always a good workout. We were clearing out a few areas to allow some of the native wildflowers to flourish next year. They have three types of orchids and a whole host of fabulous fungi and wildflowers. We will be back next week for a spot of litter picking to keep the reserve as clean as possible.

Well it was a very satisfying task today joining with Phil and The Friends of Peartree Green Nature Reserve to clear out the ever persistent Virginia Creeper. There was a larger than usual group as we were joined by some Geo Caching people. I certainly enjoyed getting in amongst the trees cutting out as much as I could under the able eye of Phil who organises the sessions. They are running a Fungus Foray on the 2nd November which is for all the family and anyone interested in learning more about them.
