Improved Visitor Greeting Scene
Visitor Zone
With snow up high this was a good time to deal with it and we were treated to a delightfully warm and sunny day. Within the Bracken fern and scrub in the section of land we found a lot of Blackberry along with Spanish heath. There was also a deciduous tree with multiple trunks that was cut down, thought to be an Elderberry.

Clearing the
woody weeds at the park entrance had been on our mind for some time. Work was
first done in this strip of land seen on the left after crossing the railway
track at the park entrance, in 2014.

It was after
lunch before the work was completed and there were still some weeds under the
slash on the first part of the land near the railway crossing. The section of
revegetated land bordering the straight road leading to
the bridge over the river was then tackled and more blackberry removed and the pathway
cleared of overgrowing vegetation.
