On Wednesday 17th June at 10am, GCV will be meeting at Pleinmont to remove Sour Fig. Removing this invasive plant allows native plants to grow and spread.

Great (but not great) to find some large patches of Sour Fig near Loophole Tower No. 10 at Chouet. Filling two skips with this invasive non-native plant was very satisfying! It took fantastic team work to remove it all - well done everyone! 👏👏

On Saturday GCV did a work party in two parts. The first part was cutting vegetation along the edge of La Mare Huchon douit to allow the water to flow freely. The second part was removing new Sour Fig shoots along parts of Route du Picquerel.

😁 What a wonderful place to spend a morning. 😁
On Saturday GCV removed more than 100 tree guards from young trees in Jubilee Wood, Le Gouffre.
This was a new experience for many people who had never visited this lovely @NTGuernsey site before.

Soooo nice to see Sheep's-bit spreading across Rocquaine where invasive Sour Fig used to grow. The bees are loving it too! 😍

Do you remember when invasive Sour Fig covered Fort Le Marchant headland?
It's now looking stunning with such a lot of pink Thrift and other native wildflowers! 😍

Time for a spot of digging on Port Soif Common. Wild Leek is becoming dominant in quite a few areas of the Common & it produces many new bulbs which spread & create even more plants. To allow the smaller, native plants to grow the large patches of Wild Leek is being removed.😁

One final push on Saturday morning to get some more invasive Stinking Onions out of the ground in Bluebell Wood before they die back for another year.
Great to see some big, healthy looking Bluebell seed pods developing. 💙

🌧🌧 90% chance of heavy rain at 11am on Wednesday was correct! 🤣
Fort Le Marchant headland is looking great and we only managed to find a few small patches of invasive Sour Fig. Then it rained.......💧💧💧

Thankfully the torrential rain on Wednesday didn't hit the beautiful @NTGuernsey Clifton Valley so GCV had a lovely dry morning chopping Hemlock Water-dropwort & digging up Stinking Onions.
Such a peaceful place with birdsong & the sound of the douit running down the Valley. 💚
