CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN DEVON TO TACKLE ASH DIEBACK

As reported in last week’s CLA newsletter, a new campaign has been launched in Devon to encourage landowners with ash trees on their property to inspect them for Ash dieback.

Manton Downs Stud Rail Project

This is an ongoing project running over several months.

Here we show Dave’s video featuring some 3,500m approx of post and stud rail we erected to make the side fence to the racecourse gallops.  This took us about 10 days to complete.

We then needed to add a number of 5-bar timber gates and some additional fencing to ensure the horses can be safely secured.  You’ll see a couple of the gates we painted white which was in keeping with them being at the side of the gallops.
