Triangular Club Rush | 2024 Report of Tamar and Estuary Surrounds [8.2Mb]
For the second time, the previous being some 23 years ago, the marsh is being considered for planting. Last time it was unviable but now there is a breach from the river to the marsh flat land Peter Nicholson oftamarvalley-nl.org.ukhas arranged to visit this May 22nd around 10:30. So will see what the view is then.
UPDATE: 22nd
Well Peter was pleasant and was happy to look around. We spent the at least 2h30m along the bund and then back through the wetlands etc. Although Peter agreed that it's covered in well establish growth they may come back and look at one small patch of 'clear mud' area.
June 24th It looks like the ELF may host some this July see Comment 1
July 3rd Peter planted out 7 tcr and 13 hybrids.
July 10th
(low 0.8m of spring tide of 3.9m)
Sadly after a week they still all look pale and about to give up the ghost. Maybe in another couple of weeks there will be some colour in their stems.
July 18th
I have been told that they die right back in winter and hopefully in late spring they will produce new shoots.
July 30th
Still submerged but only by and inch or so around 11am but all drained or evaporated by 7pm
Sept. 23rd.
Peter visited to check on the tcr and was happy to see they had done so well, me too, but me too was even more happy as Peter brought a flagon of his home made cider and a book by Gavin Young 'Return to the Marshes' about his experiences largely around his visit to the Iraqi marshes south of Basra in 1976
