River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken just one week before Christmas, December 2016.
At first glance — all activity had ceased along the Slang/Rehills section of the river bank.
In the sinking sunlight, a peaceful scene.
But Lo, the elves were about to spring into action . . . . . .
A new crew rocked up . . . to plant seedlings, shrubs etc.
A cynic might opine — tasty nibbles for the local deer herd.
"SIR, no cynics in this here neighbourhood."
Self-evident what they were doing.
Started off with fine weather, but it deteriorated as the days passed.
They returned in the New Year 2017 to complete the planting.
