Kevin had been out to cut back the grass in the two meadows adjacent to Cardiff High school, and 20 volunteers of all ages turned up for work on Saturday.
Hay raking is hard work but fun and we were grateful that the rain held off until the work was almost complete. The provision of cider (over 18s only!) and welsh cakes was very welcome at the break (thank you Mary and Jane).We also made a start on clearing some of the overgrowth around the edges of the meadows and hope to continue with this task later on this year. The trees (planted by pupils of the school) are doing well and the rowan berries, apples etc are being produced in significant numbers. However, the plant growth such as brambles around these trees needs to be controlled so that they continue to flourish.
