Weekly update, 10th October

Hope you're all keeping well in this beautiful autumnal weather! A great big thanks to all who came out for the bumper four days of conservation groups last week, you got a huge amount done.

A huge thank you for getting involved with our Environmental Leadership campaign on social media; your likes and shares really help us increase our reach and they are much appreciated. This week we’re introducing some of the people who work with and support Earth Trust, so look out for a few familiar faces! If any of you are willing to be profiled on social media, please do get in touch as we’d love to hear from you.

What the volunteers have been up to:

Thursday Group (Abingdon), 5th October

The group were back at Abbey Fishponds to finish cutting the Daisy Bank area, add in a drainage channel along a small section of rather boggy footpath and make a start on the fen cut. Thursday group is back to its weekly occurrence now we're properly into the cooler season, so the next session is 12th October.

Friday Group (Little Wittenham), 6th October

The long task of clearing scrub on Castle Hill continued last week - great effort everybody! The next session is 13th October.

Saturday Group (Abingdon), 7th October

The team were joined by Abingdon Green Gym at Abbey Fishponds this month. The main task was cutting and raking the reed/sedge in the fen areas of the reserve. The next session is 4th November.

Sunday Group (Little Wittenham), 8th October

Yet more scrub clearing and burning on Castle Hill for the team this month! The next session is 12th November.

Coming up...
