Woorgreens FC/GWT Reserve
Grid Ref SO626128
This time we concentrated on hedgelaying around the track which skirts Woorgreens Lake. This is a very satisfying job and as we had done a similar task last winter the seasons growth had not made the job too difficult. We laid many stakes in which to wind the hedge through and cut the yellow willow stems for basket weaving. Small trees were removed from the marshy area of the lake. Due to the recent rains which are causing flooding on the River Severn and River Wye, the lake was overflowing and running fast along Blackpool Brook.
