What a lovely bright start to 2026, ideal for getting out and enjoy the woods.
We have four great opportunities to get involved this month -
Saturday 3rd, Sunday 18th, Wednesday 25th and Saturday 31st
We will be continuing the amazing work of November and December on our heathland restoration site in Cannon Hill North.
The task involves cutting invasive Pine, Birch and Rhododendron, then dragging it to the fire site.
Weather permitting we will be having a bonfire on the weekend task days (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 off the main track below 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.
