The Low Barns Volunteer Task Force
Longburnford Quarry & Emma's BBQ (Fri 15th May 2009)
15th May 2009

A soggy and slightly sad day as we say Goodbye to Emma. In the morning we planted marsh violets at Longburnford Quarry for the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary butterfly. Then (slightly damp) we returned to Low Barns for a variety of jobs, the most important one being the leaving Barbie for Emma.
