We will be meeting at 10.00 a.m. at the entrance in Woodland Way and the tasks planned for the day are as follows:
(1) To cut down the section of Silver Birch trunk which is still hung up over the middle path.
(2) To mow/brushcut and rake Sherwood Glade.
(3) Whilst the vegetation overgrowing the pond has been cut back there is still a lot of debris in the pond which needs to be removed.
(4) The middle and bottom paths need to be walked and any vegetation encroaching or overhanging the paths cut back.
5) Remove an old metal stake sticking up out of the ground. It's located by some steps leading down to the top path close to where we will be working.
As usual FoF will be providing all the necessary tools for the above tasks 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 although FoF’s First Aid kit does contain tick removers if needed.
Please would you let me know if you'll be able to make the work day (chrispm_parker@hotmail.co.uk) – many thanks.
