After completing 100 metres of the boundary wall of this orchard. The wall opposite was down to be fenced. They had previously been advised this wall could not be done. We suggested that we rebuild a 10 metre section to prove it could be. The Cumbria Wildlife Trust were given funding for 200 metres after we demonstrated it was repairable.
Here is the wall appearing from the moss and rubble
