Volunteer Day – February

Our monthly session to look after the forest. Originally scheduled for the 18th.

Note: This month it’s a Saturday afternoon session. Join us when you can, for as long as you like.

We’ll be looking to improve the biodiversity of the site by taming some of the blackberry bushes that dominate the Ballman field to the east of the site. A study recommended that we cut them back in sections, doing a quarter each year, to vary the habitat and introduce new life to the area. It’ll also reveal the trees that were originally planted in the area, so we can see them in all their glory.

Gloves are a must and thick trousers recommended to keep thorns at bay. Sturdy secateurs or loppers would be handy, though we do have some you can use if you don’t have your own.

We’ll meet at the top of the picnic field to kit up before heading out. If you plan to join us later then you’ll find us next to the Celtic Tree Circle.
