What: We will be continuing to clear scrub encroaching onto the paths and into the grassland. Please bring work gloves if possible.
How: The Countryside Ranger will be there providing guidance and tools if necessary. Drop by if you have any time to spare and don't worry about not knowing what to do - none of us do, but the Ranger will set us straight!
Health and Safety: The session and will be covered by Council insurance as long as you are working under the Countryside Ranger's instruction.
We ask you to bring your own gloves and where appropriate tools, so if you have shears or loppers that would be great. Don't worry if you don't have them as the Ranger will have a supply.
Please make sure you bring along your own refreshments as it can be thirsty work. Cake will be provided at break time!
