It has been hot, but we stayed cool by working under the trees, removing the small, persistent snowberry roots and shoots. It has taken many volunteer days to push the Snowberry back from the path and the bell pits in the area above Castle Falls. This is located at the Calderwood end of Calderglen Country Park. Over the summer, it has been rewarding to see young trees, bluebells, Enchanter’s Night Shade, and other native plants reclaim the woodland from the invasive non-native Snowberry. So, thanks to everyone who has contributed their time. We are making a difference

Also, thanks to South Lanarkshire Countryside Rangers for ongoing support and to TCV – The Conservation Volunteers for their grant, allowing the Calder Wood Volunteers to purchase the necessary tools to clear Snowberry from our local woodlands.
