170m of post and rail fence, in 2 separate areas, at Pwll Waun Cynon Reserve in Mountain Ash for WTSWW.
The second section up the top end was very hard going. Each hole we dug was full of stones and rocks and ended up twice as wide as needed 🥵🤦‍♂️
Was also visited briefly by this hedgehog who was strangely out in daylight

Two weeks of scrub clearance for NRW, mainly Willow, on Llantrisant Common SSSI. Trees/scrub have been encroaching onto the peatland over the years. Removing them will open up the area, preventing the drying effect of the trees on the peatland and encourage more grazing.
Also recovering more of the grassland will hopefully also benefit the endangered Marsh Fritillary butterflies that have been reintroduced to the Common.
