RYBURN - Longley Wood

A beautiful day and not too hot. Lynda, Jerry and Jak returned to Longley Wood. It's so near to Rough Hey Wood that we have grown to think of that area as one wood when it is in fact three - Rough Hey, Butterworth End and Longley.

Location of work

The first task was to get to the work site without troubling the large number of cows who were a bit curious.

Just right where we need to walk!

Once that was achieved, Lynda got busy with cutting back brambles, nettles and holly. This is part of our annual maintenance of this lovely area.

Jerry also got busy with strimming so as to make it clear where the path actually is.

We went on to install a revetment to keep the path safe for walkers where there is a steep drop.

We cut the path in to widen it as well.

Today's work was funded by donations to CROWS for which we are very grateful.
