August Work Day at Hazel Copse

Hazel Copse August 2010.  The undergrowth and Hazel have shot up after the recent rain and warm weather.  Some more of the Hazel should be ready for coppicing this winter. 

Replacement and extra fence posts were required to keep the cattle out of the copse.  Dave and Julian use the post driver while Colin in his Dickies work trousers pulls the barbed wire out of the way.

Ron concentrated on reinforcing one of the corner posts that the cattle love to use for scratching.

Chris working on straightening up the leaning posts.  The area should now be secure from sheep and cattle ready for the winter.
