Seven members of Maidstone RSPB Local Group kindly gave up their Sunday to help with the clearing up of material left over from this season's forestry work. This has turned out to be a monumental task for our regular volunteers and we were very grateful to the Group for spending the day collecting and burning brash around the Decoy Pond. It will be fascinating to monitor developments in the newly-exposed areas as they are re-colonised by native plants. Our thanks to Richard, Simon, Jayne, Peter, Karen, Tony and Ken who were still smiling after a hard day's work.
