Residential in the Lakes

June 2012

The group went up to the Lakes on the Jubilee Weekend and started putting up some deer fencing around part of the site. The area will eventually be coppiced. Photos kindly donated by Aiste Dijokaite.

Putting the battens on the plastic fencing
The fence was strained using ropes against the existing trees. No nails were used on the trees at al

We were in 2 teams - taking a look at James's team efforts.
