Fresh from our Christmas and new year break, the Kingston Greenspace Volunteers set about the task of preparing The Wood for the installation of a new pedestrian gate. The intention is to make this small woodland park more attractive to passers-by and encourage locals and visitors to explore. As well as cutting back vegetation from around the gate, a short section of hawthorn hedge was planted against the ugly metal fence that separates the publically accessible part of the reserve from the Richard Jefferies Bird Sanctuary, a few other trees, such as hazel, birch, and rowan were planted where invasive laurel and snowberry has previously been cut back.
The new pedestrian gate will go here, so vegetation was cut back in readiness.
A native hedge will screen off the rather ugly metal fence.
Spring is just around the corner, as bluebells start to emerge.
