Rounding off 2013 in the borough of Richmond, the Environment Trust's volunteers made a return visit to the London Wildlife Trust's Crane Park Island Nature Reserve. This is a nice gentle task ahead of Christmas, where volunteers trim back the hedge that borders the wheelchair accessible path, and opens up views across the reed bed. Ash, hawthorn, spindle, beech, and hornbeam were amongst the species trimmed back.
Volunteers trim the hedge.
In other areas, the hedge has been laid.
The view across the reed bed is opened up again.
Willow sculptures add a new dimension to the woodland.
The trimmed hedge will need cutting again in 12 months time.
The view across the ruins of the gunpowder works towards the Butts Farm Estate.
The Shot Tower is seen through the leaf-less trees on the island.
