We used saws to make the cuttings small enough to fit into the little trailer. We had to be really careful! EM, AC, KAM, GE

We had to find Sycamore saplings that were thinner than our thumbs, then use the loppers to cut them close to the ground. We managed to thin out quite a large area over the course of the morning. ST, AK, AM

As we explored Urquhart Bay Wood, we used Woodland Trust information sheets about Ash Dieback to give the Ash Trees a "check up." We took our roles as Tree Doctors very seriously. Thankfully of all the Ash Trees were free of the disease - but it was spotted very close to us three years ago, so we have to keep checking.

The river seemed much bigger after the recent rain. We saw a small fish in the river. It was sheltering near a fallen tree, away from the strong flow of the water. We took several photos, but it is really hard to spot! By The Weasels

We found lots of crevices in the trees that animals and insects could use. We also found this patch of disturbed earth. We thought it might have been made my a mammal...

We saw so many fungi again, but we couldn't identify all of them. We thought this one looked really different from the others - it is so pale. Does anyone know what it is? By The Otters

This was a good time of the year to explore for nuts, seeds and berries. We found quite a lot of brambles and ash keys and some people spotted acorns too. A few of us had been feasting on the brambles when we came to visit with our families but there were still plenty left for the birds! By The Moths
