Coppicing at Robinswood Hill Cache In Trash Out® Event

This cache has been archived.

Monski: Everyone's log from our select crew and so I can get this one archived and clean up the hill a little from all the caching icons (a mini-CITO (caching icons taken out?)).

The next event is this Friday 16th at Horsbere doing some mulching. Hopefully see you there.

Geocache Description:

11th February 2018

Coppicing at Robinswood Hill 10:00-13:00


Parking: Robinswood Hill Car Park, see waypoint.

Where: We will meet at the published coordinates for 1000hrs. If however you would like some company on the way up I will be leaving WP1 at 0930hrs.

What: Continuing from last year and Evil Edna's events  we will be using saws and loppers to coppice Wolfleaze wood. The idea of the project is to continue coppice rotation in the area. This will provide a sustainable source of timber for management practices on the hill and on other sites; including stakes and binders for hedgelaying. The coppice habitat also provides greater habitat diversity for nesting birds and small mammals.

How: Felicity the Countryside Ranger will be there providing guidance and any necessary tools and gloves, but bring your own if you prefer.

Health and Safety: All health and safety rules apply. Children will need supervision and pets kept under control.
