For the last five months a pair of skilled wallers have patiently and progressively rebuilt over 400m of dry stone wall on the southern valley ridge. Living four days a week in a portacabin nearly two hours walk from the forest road at 2500 feet above see level they have completed a brilliant job. The wall has been made stock proof so that the stocking density of sheep on the Pillar and Ennerdale Fells SSSi can be reduced so that the rare  sub alpine habitats can regenerate. Due to the pressures of time some of the boundary has also been fenced temporarily. The effectiveness of the bew bounday and future of the fence will be reviewed in 2010.
