The Task
We are really excited to start our work at Barrowcroft Wood, right on our doorstep to start the new year! Come and help cut back the scrub that is taking over this rare chalk grassland habitat.
Timings (please note these timings are approximate):
9:15 Meet at the depot, get PPE & tools & then walk up together.
9:30 Safety briefing
11:00 Break
12:15: Lunch break, please bring your own
14:30: Work finishes, time to walk back to the depot
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 hat and suncream if it's sunny.
Please bring plenty of fluids and a packed lunch. No tea kit today! Remind Jack to bring some biscuits!
Access:
We are working on a slope today.
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.
