Report written by Rachel Henry
Yesterday we joined the Friends of Eaglesfield Park to help with clearing in and around the pond to prevent the weeds from taking over. By the time I arrived, Cat had cleared a good chunk of the area with an ever increasing pile of leaves. Meanwhile Les and Liz were wading in the pond removing the weed with much more grace and serenity than I would have managed. Two hours later it was time for a coffee and we enjoyed a nice walk through Oxleas to sevendroog castle. A lovely morning all round!
We'll be back here next week 😊
Until next time!
Every autumn the Friends of Eaglesfield Park clear away vegetation from around the edges of the pond and growing in the pond to prevent the pond becoming overgrown. This includes removing invasive flag iris and reducing the size of the water lily. Some volunteers don waders and others work on the edge of the pond. Wellies are definitely an advantage.
