The Task:

A day dedicated to some love and care of the chalk grassland. We will be cutting and raking to make sure wildflowers can thrive at this site and provide food sources for butterflies and other pollinators. No experience is necessary, come for an hour or two or stay the whole day.

10.00: Arrival for safety briefing, please don't be late!

10.15: Work begins

11.30: Tea & coffee break

1.00: Lunch time, please bring your own.

15.00: Work finishes, time to go home! Thank you!

What to bring:

Please bring your gloves (we will have spares) and dress for the weather and the task.

Long trousers are advisable as there may be ticks and thorny vegetation. We also recommend wearing steel toe capped or sturdy boots rather than trainers.

Wear layers that you can remove if you get hot whilst working. Bring a waterproof as most of our sites have no shelter from the rain. You may need a sun hat and suncream if it's sunny.

Please bring plenty of fluids and a packed lunch. We will bring a tea kit and biscuits.

Access: Deangarden Woods is on a steep slope and may not be suitable for people with limited mobility.

Please note:

Biscuits are served at all Chiltern Rangers sessions. Please advise if you have an allergy.

Sometimes there is a need for us to use power tools that can be noisy.
