Thats a rack

It was our last day in the woods at Sprotbrough today, for this winter anyway. We again joined the Don Gorge Conservation Volunteers for a day of tidying up in the coupe. The chaps made an excellent job with the brash fence around the boundary as well as tending to the fire, whilst we concentrated on stacking logs and racking up the smaller roundwood:

We intend to return to the woods later in the summer with a small kiln to turn this rack into BBQ charcoal.

The coupe is looking great after everyone's hard work. Bluebells and dog's mercury are already poking through. Who knows what will spring up as the light reaches this part of the woodland floor after years in the shadow of the trees we've now coppiced? We look forward to visiting later in the spring to find out!
