(2 hrs) Fri 26 Jan 2024 - Pruning at Beechbrae

Hard labour for our large group today, cutting back the vegetation near the main track around the woodland, to make way for a tractor which is digging a trench to lay pipework for the woodland centre, to improve the water supply. Plenty of practice with bow saws (branches over wrist thick), pruning knives (under wrist thick), loppers (thumb thick) and secateurs (finger thick max).
