We will once again be meeting at 10.00 a.m. at the new coppicing area to continue with the felling and clearing etc. work to ready the site for planting as well as continuing with the construction of the dead hedge. Entering the Wood via the Woodland Way entrance, the site is located on the left hand side of the top path where the path meets Sherwood Glade and the start of Sherwood Oaks Field.
Roger and Mick have been doing a tremendous job felling the trees including working extra work days. All being well the felling should be finished by the end of March when the bird nesting season starts but, as there are only four work days including the above work day left to clear the brash and "tidy" the site, any help you can give with this work would be most appreciated.
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 but FoF’s First Aid kit does contain tick removers if needed.
Please would you let me know if you will be able to make the work day (chrispm_parker@hotmail.co.uk) - many thanks.
