3 Members from the unit met up with the Conservation group at Mossmorren to do some work around the plant
As it was we were once again very lucky,
as contrary to the forecast,the weather remained dry until after lunch so we were able to achieve many tasks listed for the day.
Everyone worked together to achieve the following:
Approx 600 trees/hedging plants were planted and TLC was carried out to
existing trees and hedges.
A fungi area was created to enhance the existing fungi habitat and encourage
more fungi to grow.
More construction was carried out at the compost area to complete the
compost storage facility
Dead vegetation was cleared around the pond area and dead trees were removed
and replaced with healthy young trees
A hedgehog box was relocated and frog boxes and insect boxes were installed
around the pond area
A pile of compost was moved by wheelbarrow to the new compost area
Volunteers were provided with lunch courtesy of Exxon Mobil and what a lunch
it was! Delicious soup, a large selection of sandwiches, crisps and
amazingly scrumptious double chocolate chip muffins!
After a hearty lunch volunteers waddled back to the work areas and finished
off the above tasks just as the heavy rain started to fall. Everyone
departed from the site knowing that they had done a little bit to improve the area.
