3 Great opportunities coming up over the next 2 weeks or so.
Sunday 23rd Feb
We will be continuing from where we left off last month at White Sheet Hill (Adjoining Holt Heath) this Sunday 23rd from 9am to 3pm.
We will be cutting and burning the Birch, Pine and and some Gorse that is spreading over this precious heathland site.
As always join us when and for as long as you wish.
The site is more dry heath than wet in this location, but please dress for the weather, spiky vegetation and possible bonfire sparks.
As always, refreshments, tools, gloves and training provided.
Plant based and meat sausage sandwiches are on the menu for lunch.
Everyone welcome (under 16's accompanied please.

Wednesday 26th February & Saturday 8th March
A fortnight ago we went back to our Elford Heath restoration site where we are returning a failed conifer crop site to scarce lowland heathland.
It is progressing well, but some Birch and Pine are popping back up and there is a corner of the site that we still need to clear.
On Wednesday the team will be continuing to cut and pile, ready to burn it up on Saturday 8th March, which will likely be our final fire of the season.
Tools, gloves and training provided. Please dress for the weather, uneven ground and spikey vegetation (and bonfire sparks on the Saturday).
Wednesday - Please bring your own refreshments.
Saturday - Drinks, biscuits and sausage sandwiches at lunch time.
Everyone welcome (under 16's accompanied please).
The work site is a little walk along the Castleman trailway with parking available at the Uddens Drive end or from the police station.
