TODMORDEN - Cutting Back - Marker Posts & Tree Guards

 Friday 3rd July

There were two teams out from Todmorden today.

Team 1: Catherine  and Ken: upgraded tree guards and reinstated a notice at Guide Quarry the start of the Geology trail

Team 2: Andrew and Duncan: cut back on the footpath between the end of Ramsden Wood Road and the fish pond, at Ramsden Wood near Walsden and then replaced/reinstated/firmed up yellow-topped posts marking the footpath over access land between Tower Causeway and West End farm, west of Todmorden, south-east of Portsmouth

Today's work has been funded donations to Crows. Many thanks.


Guide Quarry - Team 1


Ken adds extra pieces of wood to raise the
height of the guards so the trees have room to
grow without being eaten by the passing wildlife.


Catherine at work on the tree guards and reinstating the Do Not Tip sign.
Unfortunately this beautiful spot is often blighted by dumped rubbish.


Team 2 worked here...



...and here.



You can just about spot Duncan
as the cutting back begins

Now the path here is clear


Onto the next bit

Then it's off to Portsmouth to sort out marker posts.
