Over winter the group had cut back large areas of Buckthorn between the dunes and the golf course for the Le Strange Estate.
Today, in return, we were invited to look around the lifeboat sheds and hear about the history, rescues and possible future plans for the local lifeboats.
We saw both the Atlantic B Class and the Hovercraft mainly used for rescues on sandbanks and marshes.
Following this we walked to where we had cut Buckthorn and cut and raked grass; now the scene was the picture like a wildflower meadow.
Purple Orchids, Helleborines, Yellow Rattle and the rare White Marsh Orchid which was last seen there many years ago.
Also spotted some Robin’s Pincushion Galls on a wild rose plant.
