Spring Action Day 2019

More than 20 people, including these young helpers, turned up for our Action Day on 24th March – maybe it had something to do with the weather which was great.  Lots of other bags were placed around the Heath for collection too.  Thank you everyone who took part.

We didn’t forget Beech Bottom Dyke either, where sticks and other wood was blocking this section of the path. Rampant ivy is a also a problem when it results in trees being toppled – we worked on this too.

First Snow of Winter 2019

About 2 cm of snow fell over the night 22/23 January and rapidly disappeared. The last substantial fall of snow (for St Albans) was in December 2017.

The weather was good enough to see the first phase of the ‘blood red moon’ over the Heath late afternoon on the 20th January. If you were up at 5 am on the 21st, you may have seen a more intense blood red colour.
