On Saturday 9th March 10am-3pm
Work will include using saws, loppers and mattocks to remove branches and dig out root stumps, however for this event the Rhododendron isn't our target species. For those of you who were disappointed about the lack of light weeding, we will be clearing brambles and garlic. This will encourage more growth of the native species. To keep the d/t rating up the rangers would like us to also help build an embankment on a steep slope. 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 we 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
