Muiravonside Country Park; the follow up

TCV Stirling Midweek Volunteer group went to Muiravonside again last tuesday to finish off those piles of planty material that we cut down the day before. With 5 volunteers we went down to the park today. After a fight with a fallen down tree (we won, yay!) over the path and curling pond, we went up to burn down the piles of Rhododendron and Laurel. So next to finding our inner pyromancers we also were able to stay nice and warm as the day has been quite chilly. And bonus: roasting marshmallows! One of the many ways to keep our volunteers happy. We saw loads of interesting plants today next to the usual invasive species. A mixed forest where we found Ash trees, Yew, lichens like Cladonia impexa. Also a possible Arctium sp (comparable to a Thistle) spreaded all over the forest floor and some nice, possible, Inula conyzae (ploughman’s-spikenard) and a few cute opposite-Leaved Golden-Saxifrage (Chrysosplenium oppositifolium), they got very interesting flowers!
