Report written by Jen Simpson (She/her)

Sheila and Jen met BBOWT volunteers and Friends of Haymill and after introductions to new members and a safety briefing we took our tools to base camp. We split out into groups to work on cutting back overgrowth and tidying up the path.

Jen tackled the overgrown entrance gate that was a battle with Brambles, Ivy, Nettles and Bindweed. Sheila and a couple of others joined her to clear the path leading from the gate.

After a coffee break, Sheila returned to the path and Jen stayed to the external pavement to cut back the nettles at child height that were encroaching onto the pavement.

Some of the team amassed some litter as well so all in all a good mornings work.
