People from Farndale teamed up with the North York Moors National Park Authority’s Make A Difference volunteers and staff to carry out habitat management work along the popular Farndale daffodil walk.

Trees were cut back to open up the area and let more light in to make it more pleasing for visitors.

The cut wood was used to make twiggy bundles and stakes which will be installed along a short stretch of river bank to help prevent further river bank erosion.

Sally Potter, a local resident, said: “We wanted to mark the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in some way and felt this would give year round pleasure to both locals and visitors to the Dale.”

More than 50,000 people visit Farndale each year during the daffodil season.

To keep congestion on the narrow roads to a minimum, the National Park Authority runs a daffodil shuttle bus from Hutton-le-Hole car park to several stops along the daffodil walk.

This year the bus will operate on Sundays from March 25 through to April 15, and on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday.

Timetables will shortly be available at northyorkmoors.org.uk/moorsbus or by phoning 01439 770657.
