Volunteer day at the Lymm Railway Line
Advertisement
You are welcome to join the rangers and volunteers from Mersey Rivers Trust as we carry out winter tasks focused along the linear track, the Lymm Railway Line, part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
We will be coppicing Hazel, a traditional pruning method where a tree is cut to ground level, resulting in regeneration of new stems from the base, known as the stool. Coppicing is an ancient woodland management technique utilising all the cut Hazel for things such as fencing, hedging stakes and firewood, but we use it here because of the benefits it has to wildlife and the environment.
Booking in advance is essential. Please bring gardening gloves and a packed lunch. Suitable for anyone over the age of 10.
Time: 10am to 3pm
Meeting point: Henshall Lane car park, Henshall Lane, Dunham Massey, Altrincham, WA14 5SH
Leaders: Bollin Valley Partnership Ranger Umar
Information: 01625 374790
(Bring a packed lunch / Children must be accompanied by an adult / Easy walking grade / Partnership event / Places limited - please book in advance / Please leave your dog at home / Please wear suitable boots and clothing / Wildlife walk - Event)
