We will again be meeting at 10.00 a.m. at the entrance in Woodland Way and the two tasks planned for the day are as follows:
(1) To cut back the vegetation encroaching the Junipers in the Juniper Glade and re-stake the deer fencing as may be necessary.
(2) To start the felling work in the new coppicing area.
On the last work day the felling regime was approved by the 3 Croydon Tree Officers who carried out a site inspection of the Nature Reserve.
Any help you can give with the above no matter how much or how little is always very much appreciated - an hour or two of your time can make all the difference as to whether the task(s) planned for the day get done. As usual FoF will be providing all the necessary tools for the task but please would you bring your own gloves and tools (shears and loppers) if you have them. Please would you also bring your own wipes and hand gel as well as your own refreshments. Please also remember to wear long trousers/jeans to avoid getting bitten by ticks but FoF’s First Aid kit does contain tick removers if needed.
As usual, please would you let me (chrispm_parker@hotmail.co.uk) know if you will be able to make the work day - many thanks.
