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!

This evening was our final task for the year at Belle Isle Park. We were joined by a few others from the local area and task owner Joe, to finish off the digging and grass-clearing work ready for a new wildflower area. A nice warm evening, a lovely social task and some good exercise!

A pretty physical evening, lots of digging and earth-moving, but great be be joined by the community and having a laugh as we worked! A highlight at the end was getting to play with the batfinder! lots of the winged friends out!
We'll be back at the park for a final time this year next week - a task and a cheeky drink after!

This week we were back at Belle Isle Park, carrying on the maintenance of the park with the local group. We collected and distributed wildflower seeds, before tooling up and attacking the brambles that had reappeared.
