It was great to be joined by Lucy at Nore Barn Woods, along with all the regular Friends group. It was a glorious morning, with blazing sunshine and crisp, icy footpaths.

The group undertook tree planting along the edge of the Woods, some bramble clearance and lots of raking up leaves from one of the woodland glades, with numerous wheelbarrow trips to the compost piles.

As always, there was plenty of banter, amusing anecdotes and sharing of wildlife knowledge.
