We managed to cover all three of our objectives this month, which included a concerted effort on sprucing up three of the hides, some tough work on reed clearance at Fort Drew and the planting of 30 hedge whips.

Many thanks to the following for their good work: Ken Davies, Nilesh Dodhia, Mike Lansdown, Tony and Sheila Lee, Nicola Phipps, Paul Ward, Rob and Alex Liddle, Nicola Pazdzierska, Philip and Julia Davies, Alison Marriot and Nigel Daley.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award volunteers who completed the sprucing up of the interior of Shoveler hide were Charlotte, William, Stanley and Hattie.
