Old Hunstanton 6.11.23
Today’s task was to cut down large areas of mature Buckthorn along the dunes, part of the Old Hunstanton Estate. Charles, Estate trustee,had arranged a team with a chipping machine. Gary from NWT suggested that the Group be divided into those to cutting Buckthorn and those to carry or to drag the cuttings to the chipping machine. The cut stems remaining were sprayed by Gary to stop re-growth. The long grass surrounding Buckthorn and the path alongside the border fence was cut by Gary with a special cutting machine and this grass was also taken to the chipping machine.
At the end of the morning, as a thank you to the Group for their efforts, the estate owner, Charles, arranged for lunch at the local beach café.
