CROSSNESS NATURE RESERVEWORKING PARTY on 17th February 2016Nature Reserve Manager Karen Sutton

The weather was cold and cloudy as we waited for Karen to give us our allotted tasks. Magnus Andersson [in lime green boots & two cameras] from Sweden came courtesy of the South London Press and the Mercury to take action photos. The chainsaw expert cut down some small trees and the volunteers cut them up into manageable pieces and constructed small brash piles. Sounds easy but dealing with hawthorn, blackthorn and wild rose can be a prickly backbreaking job. By lunchtime the volunteers were in need of nourishment and a natter. They then went there separate ways nursing their aching backs and limbs.
