Friends of Wolstonbury work party Saturday 5 October 2019

Massive brambles and scrub from the western slope of Wolstonbury Hill were cleared and the bramble and briar roots pulled out.  See the one minute video above.

The Pride of Sussex, the Round-headed Rampion and Autumn Lady's-tresses orchids on Wolstonbury Hill, West Sussex, today

 The goal was to see if Autumn Lady's tresses were flowering on the hill again.
Surrounded by the county flower, "the pride of Sussex" we were successful.
