White Cross Bridge - 2014/15
Vegetation Team
During the last few months of 2014 and into 2015, the vegetation team have spent a lot of time clearing the vegetation in the cutting adjacent to White Cross Bridge. Previously the area had a lot of very dense growth and was dark and damp, with the track bed being very wet. It is now much more open and the area is drying out nicely.
