10 GG Yorkies made the most of the beautiful sunshine to meet at Naburn Station with Peter of Greenways and Jonathan and Enya of St Nicks.

3 hardy folk had run all the way there in the heat... then Peter announced that the task was a further 1.2 miles along the cycle path... and so they kept running!!

Our challenge was to scythe the long grass beside the cycle path, and clear all the cuttings, the aim being to allow wild flowers to flourish. We also pruned back some trees and with all the cuttings created habitat piles to provide a safe home for wildlife.

As the sun set across the fields, we cleared a strip about 50m long. The difference was incredible!!
