Enthusiastic volunteers continue with groundwork. The Waveney Volunteers for Nature (WVfN) tackled a formidable area of well-established bramble and Russian vine as well as removing a considerable amount of dumped rubbish. Thanks to The Conservation Volunteers, most of the trees have been planted in the Miyawaki forest, and all that remains are the trees which will be planted by the sponsors.
February is going to be a busy volunteer and fundraising month.
