Our brushcutter is really speeding things up, but that means more material to move - at least for now. We need to remove a large amount of cut Reed to habitat piles on the banks, and take the opportunity to rake out some of the silt. Most of the cut Reed has already been pulled into heaps to make it quicker to shift.
Depending on turnout we may also do some pollarding of Sallow trees.
No particular skills necessary. All equipment provided. First aid back-up. Wear work clothes and bring any food and drink required.
