Arriving at Whitlingham Woods, looking very bright. |
This Birch Polypore fungus must have grown after the tree fell. |
What kinds of leaf are in the "litter" around the Birch log? |
Searching for trees marked with red paint. |
Unwanted trees are marked with a red X - NOT a red dot! |
| The bonfire was built to cheer us up in the drizzly rain. |
Using a bowsaw and temporary saw-horse to cut wood for the fire |
A storm kettle (Kelly kettle) is used to boil drinking water |
Feeding the Kelly kettle with twigs |
We are clearing a path for access to a "Low Ropes Course" |
The stumps of two Sycamores we felled today. |
| On one tree we counted annual growth rings on the stump |
We marked the rings and counted 22, so it was a sapling in 1987 |
Back to Whitlingham Barn Visitor Centre as dusk falls. |
