'Friends Of' December task

Our final task for the year was clearing cherry laurel from the site. Cherry laurel is an invasive species which grows quickly and if left uncut can block out all other plant species with its twining branches. 

Invasive species are animals, plants or other organisms introduced by man into places out of their natural range of distribution, where they become established and disperse, generating a negative impact on the local ecosystem and species.

The friends programme has proved popular and will continue to run on the second Saturday of each month.

The first task day of the New Year is Saturday 9th January, meeting at Oakfield Community Centre 10am (to 1pm)
