Probably for the last time this Winter, but certainly this year (as we fancy a change of scenery...as beautiful as it is!), we will be back on the Dorset Peat Partnership mire restoration site in Cannon Hill North.
We still have some Pine and Birch to cut on the drier heath fringes and the ever encroaching Rhododendron.
You may even find a pine that will do as a unique Christmas tree, or how about a Birch Christmas tree? Not as crazy as it sounds, honestly! ;-)
We won't be having a bonfire (next month, we promise), but for those around at lunchtime there will be sausages (plant based and regular).
We will be on-site 9am-3pm (possibly finishing earlier, depending on the weather). As always, come and go as it suits.
Abundant drinks and biscuits supplied as always for a weekend task.
Tools, gloves and training supplied. Sturdy footwear recommended and maybe wellies if you want to work nearer the mire.
We will be in the same location as we have been for the last two task days.

Easy to find though - from the dog splash, continue up the main gravel track and we will be along the first track on the left.
If coming from Colehill / Bridleway, head down the steep track from the picnic area and past Dave's bench.
As always, come and go as it suits, under 16's with an adult please.
If you are coming along (particular if you would like lunch) if would be handy to know before late afternoon Friday.
Our future dates -

This task run by Francis and Paul, will be cutting back vegetation along the bridleway that runs directly up from the entrance track of CHN (off Uddens Drive parking area) and the windy path that is parallel to it and runs through the recently (several years ago) planted conifer crop.
