Our small group of volunteers, under the guidance of new
ranger Vicky, set off to replace the wire guards around some laurel trees
alongside the road up to the Stables.
The young laurels need protection from being nibbled by roe
deer.
We began by first removing the old chicken wire protection, which
had become inadequate for the job. Then we had to create individual wire cage
guards, which were fixed in position with wooden stakes. Two new laurels were
planted.

Our task complete, we dug up some Western Hemlock to fill in
the time until lunch.
Rain was forecast for the afternoon and being neither
amphibian nor amphibious we decided to have an early finish.
