Whilst the rest of the team battled with the grass and bramble which was obliterating the wildlife garden's paths, Ricki and Phil plunged into the pond to clear some of the weed which was making dipping impossible.
Despite the showers and the loss of Dave's glasses (only discovered as a result of Judith's persistence when the rest were about to abandon the search in favour of coffee), by the end of the day the paths were clear and there was sufficient weed free water to again allow pond dipping.
Students - enjoy!
CROW volunteers: Dave, John, Judith, Laurence, Margaret, Phil, Ricki, Terry and Alan.
