Sunshine again!

The good weather this year has resulted in rapid plant growth, some of which unwanted! A team set out to reclaim some overgrown areas from the brambles- not many emerged totally unscathed (including Hilary and her broken shears!).
The third task was to continue our efforts to increase biodiversity. Two large areas were dug out and yellow rattle seeds were sown. These flowers help to reduce grass growth and allow other wild flowers to become established.
This is a long term project throughout the Nant Fawr area and we hope our meadow areas will attract more pollinators over the years.
