Mick and Sheila joined six other volunteers at Haymill Nature Reserve to continue work on the reed bed. Mick was in the group building a partial dam across the stream to help divert the water through the reed bed. It was amazing to see the instant effect of their labours as the water began to flow down the channel. Mick then got a good workout digging to extend the channel. Meanwhile Sheila joined others in clearing scrub along the reed bed edge, contending with brambles, wild clematis and dogwood to stop them invading this precious space
