Recently two young trees kindly donated to Leap Valley have been ripped out of the ground and discarded by vandals. One, a Larch tree was lying nearby and has been replanted, the other a lovely Oak tree cannot be found. Why on earth someone would find this activity fun we just don’t know and it is so disheartening when we strive so hard to enhance the habitat of the valley. If you are one of the frequent walkers of the valley and see any such damage please report such to the contact for the Friends Group on the Website.

VANDALISM IN THE VALLEY
Several weeks ago a huge pile of wood collected by the friends work team as habitat, was thrown into the seasonal pond. Later all sorts of rubbish from the back of the houses in Four Acre Crescent was also thrown into the pond. The perpetrators of the second event were caught in the act. They denied being involved in the first event. They were talked to by four members of the Friends Group, invited to join us in removing everything from the pond and perhaps coming along to help in the valley where we could help them to appreciate the beauty which should be preserved. Unsurprisingly they didn’t take us up on our offer. We have had several attempts at removing it all but it takes the team away from more important tasks. If anyone witnesses any acts of vandalism please report it via our website in the first instance for us to take further action.
RENEWEL OF FENCE AND PATHWAY AT THE STONE BRIDGE
During the last week SGC have worked to repair both the broken rotted fence and the washed away path by the stone bridge. They have done a great job and we are very grateful. We do so hope the flood water will not cause destruction of both in the future.
Spring is here at last
On a walk around our beautiful valley on Friday it was so good to see all the Snowdrops beginning to show through the leaves and grass. A sure sign that Spring is here.
