Continuing the great work from last month, we will continue cutting Pine, Birch and Rhododendron from the heath.
Weather permitting we will have our first bonfire of the season, so please bear that in mind when deciding what to wear.
Elford Heath is our heathland restoration project which we begun in 2019 returning failed conifer plantation back to the scare lowland heathland habitat it would have been 100 years ago.
Elford Heath is a short walk from the parking areas on Uddens Drive (North of the A31).
Either following the main forest road track or the Castleman trailway where you can join the main track near the solar farm.
We will be based on the main track between the open areas (Elford Heath).

Not been before, then the following may be helpful -
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 like, 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 and biscuits provided on weekend tasks, and as we move into our Winter works programme, sausage sandwiches for lunch (both plant based and traditional), for those that would like them. Ideally if you could message us to let us know, it would assist the catering.
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 ;-)
Please get in touch if you have any queries.
Please see below for change to November date.
We also have an issue on this month's Wednesday. I am looking at options and may be able to sort out cover, but it would be really handy to know who is planning on coming along, to help me decide.
Many thanks,
Andy
