Tree Care Continues......
Join us as we continue to care for trees in the community woodland. We will be checking and securing guards and ties, hammering in or removing stakes, and weeding around the trees.
Parking: Suggested parking is by the gates leading in to Horsbere Brook Reserve (parking). There is alternative parking at the provided coords. The reserve is then accessed over the footbridge. If parking here please check for any parking restrictions onsite.
Where: Meet up 09:30 by the gates leading in to the Reserve (parking coords) or find us in the community woodland.
What: Over the past few years, thousands of trees have been planted to create new woodlands at Horsbere Brook, many by Geocachers, and with regular care the trees continue to grow and thrive. Many trees are mature enough to no longer need support so can have their stakes removed, others require support, words of encouragement and weeding.
How: The Countryside Ranger will be there providing guidance and tools if necessary. There are lots of other friendly volunteers on hand to give help and advice too! Please bring your own work gloves and, if you have them, appropriate tools. So if you have shears, a lump hammer, secateurs, please bring them along. Don't worry if you don't have tools however as the Ranger will have a supply too.
Health and Safety: The session and will be covered by council insurance as long as you are working under the Countryside Ranger's instruction.
Please make sure you bring along your own refreshments as it can be thirsty work. See you there!
