Blanket weed clearance at Oakley Green Cemetery

Our rangers have been working hard again to clear surface coating weed from two ponds. This algae grows fast and can block sunlight from reaching under the pond, preventing aquatic plants from photosynthesizing and oxygenating the pond. If this is allowed to continue it can deplete the pond of life: a process called eutrophication. Not what we want in our new wildlife pond at Oakley Green Cemetery or Trinity wildlife pond. Thanks Ranger Tom and Ranger Jason for clearing this and giving freshwater wildlife the chance to flourish.
