NATURE CONSERVATION WORKDAYS  January to March

Conservation Workdays. 2nd Saturdays of month. Oct-Mar. inclusive.

(14th Jan, 11th Feb, 10th Mar.)

Meet on the mansion steps 10.00am. Tools and gloves proved. Just a couple of hours of light work, holly and rhododendron control, de-brambling the gorse and may be some work in the sensory garden.

All conservation work is done during winter months when plants and animals are mostly dormant. Only light work is carried out, no tree felling and we usually only work for a couple of hours. Gloves, tools and instruction provided.  The work we do is light  pruning / coppicing.  Rhododendron  control,  Holly control,  bramble  control, Litter Picks. It's surprising how much work  a few people can do in  a short time.
