Woorgreen and Crabtree Hill

 

Continuing with the birch clearance at the top of the Woorgreen Enclosure by Crabtree Hill. The weather was kind to us as were the Highland Cattle! We achieved a great deal with a large team - burning off the debris and weed killing the stumps.

 

As usual, the inquisitive cattle came to see what we were doing but they did not stay long. They prefer it when they can nibble off the leaves from the birch we cut - not possible at this time of year!

We had four fires burning strongly. They are always extinguished when we leave.

Our large team having a break!
