π£πΏ Catch A Good Feeling C.I.C. Update πΏπ£
We've been extremely busy recently with numerous business meetings and project planning sessions, but we've also been spending the last few days down at Old Barnburgh Pond helping out wherever we can. πͺβοΈ
With the hot weather, we've been carrying out some much-needed maintenance work. The grass had turned into a bit of a jungle! ππ± We've been cutting back overgrown areas, carrying out litter picks, and making a start on cleaning both the inlet and outlet streams.
It's great to see steady progress being made, and every little bit helps. π
Today we also tested a barley straw sack to help combat the algae, and we were genuinely impressed to see visible results within around 20 minutes! πΎπ§
We'll be back over the coming days continuing to chip away at the jobs that need doing. On Monday, we'll be focusing on a clean-up of the streams that feed into the pond. πΏπ
A big thank you to all the local residents and visitors who have shown us respect, support and encouragement while we've been working. It really is appreciated and helps keep us motivated. β€οΈ
Slowly but surely, we're moving in the right direction. π
