Working Bee

On the 16th of June W.E.T ran a working bee to try and fix up some of the problems in the wetland. We talked about this in an earlier post. The edited map below shows how much the wetland has been extended to include a boggy patch on the field.

A photo from ground level also shows how it has been extended. Overgrowing plants on the main path were dug up and replanted in this new strip. Note it has been raining alot thus why all the water.
