Today we headed off to Maker heights in South East Cornwall.
We had a cup of tea and biscuits and were joined by .....
Doggy!
Esther briefing the team on today's plans
Today we were working on Redoubt number 1 to create a wildflower meadow on the roof!
Firstly we started by clearing the vegetation
It had grown up a lot since the winter when
we had cleared it of head high brambles!
Pete removing a stubborn bramble root.
Sam loosening the ground ready for seeding!
A dig over, looks like an allotment!
Esther removing the last few roots

I cannot wait to see it grow,
it is going to be a great place for insects, butterflies and bees!
Well done Sam, 50 hours volunteering!
Well done Laura 50 hours volunteering
After lunch we head off for a wild flower survey around redoubt one. Lead by our wildflower expert Esther (also our minibus driver!)

Follow the leader, leader!
Thank you Esther for running the survey.
I think we all learnt some new plants. I was amazed that we found over 50 species!!!
