We have 4 weeks of hedge laying for RHCP this winter. Task leader Brian.
The first section is about 110m long and contains quite a lot of previously layed liggers which will need to be removed before younger growth is layed down. All chainsaws, hedge trimmers and new Silky saws on duty please. Arrisings to be burned in the adjacent field.
Week 1. Saw most of the hedge line cleared of the old layed material, only 25m to clear in week 2 when we’ll start laying.
Week 2 saw all thinning complete and approximately half of the laying achieved.
We will return in January 2022.
Road side. Quite a lot of work needed.
After 2 days work.
