The Bughts

As a lot of you probably know, the Community Association has taken on the Bughts as an ongoing project. To date (with the help of Jenny Harper) a path has been cleared going up to a clearing half way up the Bughts.  We have already had a team of Community Association members cutting back weeds etc and now we have been awarded a grant to buy some benches for use by the residents of Stenton in the Bughts.

We have purchased some black membrane and plan to put this down on the path before covering it with bark.

This is where we need your help. 

The Council have very kindly given us, free of charge, 2.5 tonnes of wood chippings to use. These have been delivered into the field next to the Bughts.

We now need your help to move the bark into the Bughts. We are planning on doing this this Saturday 26th September at 1.30pm. If you are free, please come and help.  Bring your wheelbarrows and spades!

Also, if there is a very kindly farmer out there who could spare an hour with a forklift and a big bucket to help dump the majority of the bark straight into the Bughts, we would be very, very grateful. 

Many thanks and looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday
