Winter Improvements in Trull Meadow

Over the winter months there have been a couple of welcome improvements in the

Meadow.

The first was the replacement (at last!) of the metal footbridge which had been

deemed unsafe and closed by Somerset Council for over three years, awaiting its

replacement and reinforced supports. The new timber and steel bridge is longer,

wider and has level access. As an ash tree had to be felled, the Council has

provided four trees - an oak, a hazel, a hornbeam and a wild service tree - in

replacement.

The second, thanks to generous sponsorship from Robert Cooney, was the completion of our long held ambition to create a seat in the trunk of the oak which fell in a storm three years previously.

Go to our Gallery for more photographs of these and other projects.

Future plans include commissioning a wildlife survey for the end of May, which will identify what plants and wild life we have and advise on improvements to enhance their habitat.
