Saturday 6th, Wednesday 17th and Sunday 21st
Following November's three very successful sessions on our new restoration project site, we have decided to make that our main focus for this month too.
The task involves cutting invasive Pine, Birch and Rhododendron, then dragging it to the fire site.
Sunday 21st we will be having a bonfire (please take that into account for clothing....or avoid the sparks).
The "Boggy Middle" is an area which should be managed as an open habitat and is a mix of dry heath, wet heath and mire.
A really superb area for bio-diversity and one that was nearly a contender for Peat Partnership funding (it didn't quite meet the criteria).
We are keen to get on top of the regenerating vegetation in this area, which could take us a few years while we also progress our other sites.
If you want to be involved, drink tea and eat sausage sandwiches, then please come and join us!
We will be based just down the main track from the mobile phone masts / just up from the sandy bee bank.

Not been before, then the following may be helpful -
WEEKEND TASKS - We aim to get on site at 9am, however we appreciate some people like a lie-in and others like to get home for lunch. You are welcome to come and go as you please, but please check in and out with a task leader.
The end time can depend on the weather and energy levels, but is usually around 2pm-3pm.
Hot drinks / biscuits provided and sausage sandwiches for lunch (both plant based and traditional), for those that would like them.
Gloves, tools and training also supplied as always.
If you are under 16, you are very welcome, but please bring an adult along, even if they just watch / drink tea ;-)
WEDNESDAY TASKS - As above, but please bring your own refreshments and start time is 9.30am.
Please get in touch if you have any queries.
