It's 2024 and it's time for our first Cemetery CITO of the year, which by the way is our 20th, yes really.
We have a lot of Trees here, 6000+ at last count and with a lot of trees comes a lot of falling wood, so our main task for the day will be to walk the site and gather up as much fallen wood as possible before returning it to the brash pit area ready for shredding next month. Some of you will remember we did this event last year and that pesky wood keeps on falling so here we are again.
Of course if walking and humping bags of wood around isn't for you, then we'll have the usual cut back / bramble digging tasks we can assign you.
Two hours of hard graft will be amply rewarded with as much tea & cake as we can muster at noon.
Please read the following section carefully, it contains important information for anyone considering coming to this event.
