Rhodie Bashing and Farewell

Today was the final day of the Residential but before we said goodbye we headed up to see the NTS Rangers for a morning of rhodie bashin.  Rhododendron ponticum is an invasive plant that damages native ecology and the team at Brodick Country Park are engaged in a long running battle to bring the plant under control. We were happy to help!

On the way to meet the rangers we found a sleepy slow worm.
Some of the rhodie plants are absolutely huge.
We cut the brash and burned it. Later we toasted marsh mallows on the fire.
