This cache has been archived.

hedgepiglet: Many thanks to everyone who joined me, and helped with the amazing clearance of the site. The ranger told me that they had to hire the wood-chipper for an extra day to cope with amount of rhododendron.
I really hope that you make it along to the next event

Geocache Description:


Join myself and the rangers from Kingston University in clearing invasive Rhododendron shrubs from the university's woodland.

On Saturday 26th January 10am-3pm

Work will include using saws, loppers and mattocks to remove branches and dig out root stumps. This will allow more light into the woodland and in turn will encourage more growth of the native species. As we go we will collect litter and remove old tree guards. No previous experience is necessary as full instructions will be given at the start. Please be prompt for the health and safety talk after which will move into the woodland. Parents will need supervise their children at all times.

Please wear old clothes/waterproofs that are suitable for day's weather and sturdy boots as the area we will be working on is uneven and on a fairly steep slope.

Snacks will be provided and we will try cover the people that log a 'will attend', please bring your own packed lunch and drinks. Cakes to share are always welcome!

Public transport to the meeting spot is via local buses 85 and K3 from kingston and Putney Bridge stations
