In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, this is still having an impact on working practices throughout the Society’s activities. With the exception of ‘same household’ boat trips on one day, none of our fundraising events were able to take place this year. With news of a vaccine having been developed, immunisation is about to begin. Let us hope 2021 will bring with it some degree of normality.
So despite the best efforts of Coronavirus to thwart us, Lock 14 did get finished! Volunteers are still on site engaged in the many jobs around the periphery of the site, including the provision of lock moorings.
240 trees have been planted as part of the ecological reinstatement. These include Alder, Downy Birch, Goat Willow, English Oak and Field Maple.
Conditions underfoot have been challenging, with the wet sticky clay often adding 10 lbs to each boot!
