Thursday 8th November 2012



A brilliant day, dry, sunny and no wind/rain!
Day spent sorting out the levels for the Wildlife Decking Project (WDP). The plan is to create a raised decking area leaving about 24" for the Fox to move around without digging so leaving heaps of spoil. The Hedgehog Nesting Home (with camera) will also be housed under the decking with the tunnel entrance exposed for leaving Hog Food. 
The Bumble Bee Nest is still very active despite the recent cold spell. This I will leave with an entrance exposed for these and any future Bees that may wish to nest.
There will also be a Fire Pit for the evenings we choose to stay out late with a Glass of Wine or Pint of Real Ale!
A Pathway will also be constructed through the Wooded Area where there will be Log Piles, Leaf Heaps and another two Hedgehog Homes.
A long term project, opening hopefully Mid February depending on Weather conditions!
