My plan for the next weekly work party was to continue the willow coppicing next to the Mere, but the cold weather may prevent us from doing it this week. We don't mind working in the cold, but we can only get to this particular location by wading across the waist-deep water of the Mere, and I don't want to risk damaging expensive waders (or priceless volunteers) if the Mere is covered with ice.
It will be annoying if we can't work there this week, as I was hoping to finish that job before the end of January. I don't want it to overlap with the annual reed cutting in early February.
