Today the Hyndburn's Woodlands Volunteers were back at Whinney Hill woodland to start the first of many sessions at the Butterfly Glade!
We are planning to create small Hazel Hurdle fences which run around the perimeter of the glade, to add a nice visual barrier for site users, and for a feature which will provide habitat for invertebrates!
Due to time of year, and limitations on supplies, today we used a mix of Hazel stakes and Willow for the actual weaving part of the structure.
We started by collecting fresh Willow whips which were growing out of recently felled/fallen Willows, then we crafted stakes from old Hazel lengths, and then we got to weaving!
It was a fun session and we're very happy with how it turned out, and we're excited to build on it more and more!

As always, thank you to our volunteers and to our funders for making it all possible
