Just to let you know that as usual he is on the case as regards the recent fire in the gully and the damaged fence at the entrance by the square chimney. The fencing was spotted on Thursday afternoon and repaired Friday morning - how's that for excellent service? Photos below. The light weight bits of burnt things in the gully that were likely to blow around were cleared by our work party on Saturday and Jules will be bringing in an appropriate vehicle today to remove the heavy stuff.

Hopefully the right grasses will recover, luckily most of the fire was on the path which was bare earth. The really important ones for wildlife are often the one that like really poor grass with very think blades. The lush green, broad leaved grass is often not very good (in relative terms) for the specific wildlife found on Troopers Hill.
