  Fruit preservation was encouraged during the period of food rationing so that even wild berries and fruits were not wasted. However, jams had to be made with little or no sugar as it was rationed.

Women's Land Army girls moving cut timber at Gunley Hall, Welshpool

  Janet Bennet-Evans was the only woman to drive a crawler tractor in the Welsh Region of the Ministry of Supply (Tree Production). Many women worked in the forestry industry, some of them as wood measurers, stacking planks for drying, equipment maintenance, measuring cut wood, measuring and crosscutting poles for props, stripping bark and branches and loading wagons. They also did general work, pruning, felling and planting trees.
