The hebridean sheep have been moved to a sheltered field during the worst of the winter but will be back at this site in the future. We continued cutting a lot of small thorn and treating the stumps with herbicide to inhibit the re-growth. This work was on the steep sides of the quarry and was quite painful on the ankles - not to mention the skidding down on our backsides!

We also removed some larger trees and this will provide more light for other species to grow.
