Today we continued our current project of cutting back the foliage and opening up the tree canopy alongside the Trans Pennine Trail. All in all a good, productive day, letting more sunshine through to the woodland floor, with a couple of bags of litter collected for good measure.

After a rainy start our volunteers enjoyed a good sunny session working with YWT today up on the meadow. Cutting back vegetation and clearing it away. We also had a visit from YWT Chief Executive Officer, Rachael Bice. Who came to see the work we are doing and mucked in a bit.

Our volunteers enjoyed some sunshine today. Cutting back vegetation on TPT from the first bird hide back towards the Boat Inn. Also a Willow on the path towards the locks. As always a bit of litter picking on Mill Lane bends, the landing and the TPT. A good session by all.

Our volunteers spent the day working with YWT on second visit to clear the wader bays at Sprotbrough flash.

Yesterday our volunteers spent time clearing the TPT towards the bird hides. The new leaf blower came in very handy purchased with the help of funding by Sprotbrough Parish Council.

A small team of our volunteers worked with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust today on clearing the wader bays at Sprotbrough Flash. It’s important work to provide a safe habitat for migrating birds.

Another busy session for our Volunteers today. Cutting back the hedge to the path on the TPT. Also cut back low level vegetation and a small amount of litter picking.

Today a few of our volunteers rescued the gate from the Sprotbrough Water Pump site. It had been recovered on an earlier session only for someone to feel the need to throw it back in the water! It’s safe and sound now having received a bit of TLC, all ready for a coat of paint.

Today we had two small teams working in different areas. One team did a litter pick on TPT between York Road and beyond Sprotbrough Road bridge, 4 bags collected. The other team worked on clearing the vegetation away in front of the bench at Levitthagg also 1 bag of litter.

An interesting session for our volunteers today. We had a good tidy up around the old pump site. Prior to the unveiling of the new Sprotbrough Water Pump information panel tomorrow. Cleared overhanging vegetation from the TPT path. Finally, collected the mandatory bag of litter.

Today’s task was to get the new sign at the Old Pump site installed, hopefully before it got too hot. Mission accomplished. Also three bags of litter collected from the TPT and Nursery Lane.

Another warm session for our volunteers today. Tackled the overhanging vegetation on the TPT. (Section as shown on photo). Also collected a couple of bags of litter from the same area and Mill Lane.

Another busy day for our volunteers. Finished the digging required for the posts for the new sign to be fitted soon at the Old Pump site. Carried out necessary repairs to the stone bench, and a bit of grass cutting. Finally some litter picking on the TPT and Nursery Lane.

Another very warm and sweaty session for our volunteers today. Work carried out included repairs and tidying up litter (2 bags collected) to the first bird hide after some scruffy and destructive visitors! Work up on the meadow to remove the saplings, it will take more visits

Our third session today for our volunteers tackling the Balsum and we have just about cleared it! Also managed to collect 4 bags of litter from Nursery/Mill Lane. A warm and sweaty shift.
