Today was another wet drizzly start to the day. The rain had soon cleared by the time we got to the work site that was close by where we had work for the last few days. The morning was spent removing willow and elderberry trees to open up a view onto a pond and let light onto the meadow grass. All thorn bushes were left behind to provide a site for nesting birds as well as the winter berries.

The wood was graded into that suitable to be chipped and turned into path material and the rest was piled up to rot in piles and provide a beneficial habitat. The wood for chipping was loaded into the tractor trailer and returned to the compound for chipping at a later date.

The afternoon was dedicated to a staff meeting, of which the highlight was working out the staffing level for the remainder of December and into the New Year.
