Conservation Task

12 September 2024 @ 10:00 am 12:30 pm

Organiser: Adrian Palmer

Meeting Point: Footpath just upstream from Milford Bridge opposite the avenue of bamboo.

Task: Clear invasive bamboo on the banks of the Danestream

If there are any volunteers who did not respond to email, but can attend this task we are meeting at 10am on the footpath just upstream from Milford Bridge opposite the avenue of bamboo. Please bring a smile as you enjoy two hours in late summer sunshine, protective gloves and footwear and of course fluids


Every effort will be made to keep to this date, but changes can occur due to weather, logistics, to suit other involved parties or to avoid conflicting events. Generally an email will be sent to volunteers a week in advance with location and details of the task. It is possible that additional sessions will be added , including at weekends if there is time critical, or backlog of tasks to complete.

If you would like to join the list please fill in our contact form.

Tasks are generally planned with the parish council, and wherever possible have a conservation theme. Most tasks are conservation management or maintenance and vary from lighter clearance work e.g. footpaths, bramble, rhododendron and hazel coppice, to heavier work like drainage, revetment or footpaths. Occasionally we do get opportunities to enhance or even create habitat for flora and fauna. 

Volunteers should wear gloves and sturdy footwear, safety glasses and long trousers recommended. Bring waterproofs, sunscreen and insect repellent as appropriate and bring your own water/refreshments.
