Another cold day; 2o C with a chilling, northerly breeze, just the right sort of weather to be clearing branches and brash. Once again the conservation team found themselves tasked with brash clearing and building of log piles. The area on the outskirts of West Woods must be ready for new tree planting by the end of the month.

| Collecting brash |
Some log piles were planned with great precision. After
placing a base layer all aligned in one direction a second layer was added at
90o to the first but leaving a small gap in the centre, then adding
another layer parallel to the first layer. This created a small chamber
area in the centre of the pile for small mammals etc. Some of the gaps were
then filled with smaller brash.
