Pond excavation and watering…
10 May 2025 and 21 May 2025
Don’t think we ever thought the pond area would be so large, or require so many barrow trips to clear the base. But - we have a plan! Remove as much silt and dumped material as possible then point up the cobble base with a mortar and sealant mix. Hopefully this will retain more of the rainwater in the wetter seasons. Lots of volunteer hands were available to help with digging and barrowing - several more on watering duties around the Field. The removed soil is being used to create a sunny bank which should be an attractive habitat for burrowing bees and insects.
10 volunteers joined the work party on 10 May and another 8 helped on 21 May
