Have you been down to the woods today
The tree canopy is growing too tall

Jerry shows us the trees to be cut back …
… being careful to avoid the nest in a neighbouring tree
Have you been down to the woods today
At least this discourages tree climbing and vandalism
The hazel is disappearing into the overgrowth
We have been away from the Orchard for two months …

Have you been down to the woods today
Now careful Jerry!
Remember to bend your knees when lifting heavy loads
Our new volunteer, Sue, doing a fine job …
… clearing the area so the apple tree is free of brambles
Have you been down to the woods today
Peter working hard having already cleared one other area
Looking very relaxed in the sunshine
Carole clearing the nettles and cow parsley …
… to allow light back onto the small tree

Simon’s new acquisition; a beautiful water carrier
Have you been down to the woods today
While you chat away, I’ll just sit and rest a while
Is Jerry taking a picture of me, taking a picture of him?
Barely standing on guard duty
