Birch saplings encroaching on Moor End Common are a constant problem, so on 20th August we tackled a large patch in the centre of the middle meadow. We pulled out the small ones by the roots, the rest we cut with saws and loppers, removing the brash to piles inside the trees at the edge of the meadow. Pictures show the patch before and after the attentions of our group of 10.
