A keen group of 9 Rotarians ascended the skyline (via the new gondola) to clear growing ‘Wilding Pines’ from our adopted plot.
Some 3,500 young plants were pulled from the ground, according to our club Environment leader, Richard Bowman. Lisa Pond recorded the top tally of over 550.
Spread out across our adopted plot, every tree that could be found was removed. Practically all were seedlings or very small saplings that could be easily hand pulled.
Richard reckons that we are keeping the site under control and are probably only going to need one workday a year to address regrowth.
Afterwards the team retreated down to ‘The Bavarian’ for essential hydration requirements.
