I do volunteer work for a conservation charity on Hampstead Heath. I had a session today. Because of my course, I tend to go a couple times a week to sessions. Today we were shovelling quite a load of woodchip to be used as mulch under and around trees and shrubs. This done to help retain moisture for them that might otherwise be taken by bigger trees around. I really do enjoy this type of work, and all the other types I have done since I started volunteering. On last saturday we did pond edge maintainace. Cutting down, or coppicing, smaller trees and bramble to create a grassy bank so there is a bit more variety for the wildlife. It can also make it easier for them to get to the edge for a drink. The other thing that is great about the sessions is we have a tea break halfway through. This is another good chance to chat and eat biscuits!!
Other than that, been a normal day going to the post office, returning a library book and checking things on the net. I hope to keep up letting you know what things I am up to with my volunteering and on my course. :)
