12 weeks, 3 excavators, 4 chaps and a dog….2 miles of rhode clearance and the erection of a shiny new deer fence. Sorry deer, but we need to let the trees grow and replant the Wild Kids wood.

Through the mud, sweat and a few tears (mainly when the odd hydraulic pipe burst), the route was cleared and chaps a JHD Ecological, helped create an amazing fence line, with little need to disturb anything much living, except for vast swathes of Rhododendron – A very good thing!
