Willow groynes at Chorlton Water Park

January 13, 2015 by Julian

It was our first task of 2015 yesterday and we were back at Chorlton Water Park for the winter activity of maintaining the willow groynes at the edge of the lake.  A grey and blustery day, but dry – apart from the dabbling in the shallows of the lake!  Moving on from sections which have been worked on by us and others recently, we were again cutting some of the growth of recent years and weaving it back to build up the groyne.
