Our first job was to clear a fallen tree that was blocking part of the path.

It was then off to the reed bed and whilst a splinter group went off litter picking, the rest of us stayed on the reed bed and got stuck in to a range of tasks from scything the reeds and overgrowth to clear a path to the stream, sawing down trees, raking up the debris and making a start on digging the channel to enable the water to reach the reed bed.
