Grid Ref ST558992

We returned to Tidenham Chase to continue to clear birch and gorse for heathland restoration. There had been a group of local volunteers in there for a while lately so we carried on with their task. It was a very wet, soggy day!

	One of our gigantic fires!
	As you can see, the fires soon burn through!
	This is the new pond which was dug out over a year ago. It did dry up last summer in the drought so we are hoping that algea and mosses will form which would help to keep keep it more moist.
