Getting the band back together

Tuesday 12th May

Written by Craig Barber (He/him)

Today we were back at Belle Isle Park, with most of the group finally back together after what seemed an age of being ships that pass in the night.

Our task this evening was to assist in grass cutting, moving all the carnage task leader Joe left in his wake with his scythe. Weather was great, golden hour gave us a beautiful evening and as always its nice to be out in the park!

A highlight for us this week was to take a look at the spectacular silk webbing that had been created by caterpillars in the park.

Tonight we were finally back supporting our friends at Belle Isle park after a long winter break. The task we had was to dig a new bed for wildflowers, move the earth and sow the seeds. A warm evening, we were also joined by 4 others from the local group, and thrilled to get the job finished! And of course a big thanks to Esme for bringing chocolate!
