Friday 28th May 2021 – Restoring Log Piles

  • 28th May 202128th May 2021
  • by admin

A group of us met today at 2:30 pm to move the logs back to their original positions and restore the log piles, which will naturally rot providing a habitat for beetles, etc.

Well done to all involved and a special thanks to the group of young people who also helped us.

Interesting to see some dragonfly casings

And one small one was spotted flying over one of the lakes 🙂

The place looked great afterwards.

Had a lovely walk through the wetlands. While the dumped garden waste is unsightly, unecessary and promotes weed growth it has also perhaps helps some wild flowers.

Had a nice walk through the town park and wetlands in the sunshine and a lady with two children who allowed me to take a photo and asked if we are in Instagram. Which is a great idea which I really must establish and promote. Here are a few snaps 🙂
