Orchid planting?

This mornings orchid planting turned out to be digging a ditch and erecting a fence around an area of the park where there are already a number of orchid plants growing, to protect them from the rabbits

 

 

 

Volunteers walk, by Jenny Dodd

After the monthly meeting of the Asociación de las Rutas y Caminos de la Sal on Saturday 7th November, about a dozen of the group of Volunteers

 

 

went on a walk from the information centre, the Casa Forestal, up to the far end of the lake of La Mata, at the roundabout junction to Los Montesinos.  The day was perfect, the lake calm and like a mirror and in places the silence was total, difficult to imagine for a place so near a major road and large town. Some of the group looked at plants and birds en route and were lucky to find things of interest.  We took note of the new signs which were made by a small working party that spent Saturday mornings for several months producing these. We all enjoyed the companionship as well as the walk and hope to repeat such activities in the future.

We welcome new members at our meeting once a month, the next of which will be on the 5th of December at the Casa Forestal, the little white house perched on the hill at the roundabout for La Mata.

We can give guided visits to the Park for small groups in English and German.
