Sap rising!




The past week has seen us getting seriously stuck into some coppicing at Sprotbrough, a SSSI YWT nature reserve near Doncaster. We've certainly put our newly acquired chainsaw skills to work!


"Wildlife treat of the week" was the sight of 3 buzzard soaring on the thermal above our brash bonfire!

We've only got one more day coppicing this season, before the breeding birds get into full swing. The sight of sap pouring from the stumps of our cut sycamores reminding us that spring is just around the corner!
