Goose Green
We would like to extend our gratitude to those few people who turned out on Saturday 30 June for the work party at Goose Green, despite the odd heavy rain shower, the five managed to face up the single swims on Lake 3 and spread an enormous amount of wood chip on the path around the Lake, we did not manage to finish topping up woodchip paths around Lakes 3 & 4 as planned, therefore we will be holding a further work party at Goose Green on the 8th July, where we will hopefully, if we can get some help, get someway near completing the job in hand, if not then the work will continue over the following weekend and beyond until such time as it is finished .
The final phase of the development works at Goose Green is nearing completion, the contractors have been on site for two weeks and we anticipate a further weeks work, the work the contractors have accomplished on the site of Deep Lake is quite simply, stunning, for photographs and video of the work in progress please visit our website www.pulboroughas.com and click on Goose Green from the links bar, then look at Phase 3, for your own safety, we kindly request that you do not enter the works area at any time.
Once the contractors and their machinery are off site the real work will begin, we will need help in laying the paths, creating swims and once the lake has water, planting of hundreds if not thousands of aquatic plants, plus trees and shrubs around the lake itself.
