GVCV Task @ Emley Castle – Sunday 2nd April 2023
The weather was with us for this year’s task at Emley Castle. The sun was shining as we helped local landowners (Tim and Nola) to clear bramble from a deer fence in need of repair, prune the orchard and remove willow from an area managed for bog loving plants.
Tim and Nola provided a fantastic lunch for the volunteers to say thank you for our efforts. A great farm site managed for wildlife with great hosts.

and after.
Lunch – normally we have lunch outside and bring our sandwiches so this was a special.
