Works Diary for December
December
has been a month of cutting and clearing. Both
the upper and lower dene was litter picked before Christmas. In
the Upper Reach we have completed raking up and clearing along the north bank
and the south side of the footpath. Two trees which had fallen into the burn
near the culvert were removed from the water course. Wind damaged branches on
some of the trees were also removed. This area was also litter picked. In
the Middle Reach the overgrowth on the crazy paved path to the stone seat was
cleared, and wind damaged branches on some of the trees were also removed. This
area was also litter picked. In
the Lower Reach the overgrowth on the crazy paved path at the east end was
cleared, and some of the trees were pruned back by North Tyneside Council
Staff. This area was also litter picked. On
the Dene Top the new western glade and some areas along the south side of the
main footpath were cut back ready for sowing. A start has been made on digging
out the bramble runners from within the wild flower areas. This area was also
litter picked.
