SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point: Milford Bridge \n\n\n\nTask:  Himalayan Balsam  Pulling \n\n\n\nThis session will focus on Himalayan Balsam (HB) pulling in\, and on the banks of the Danestream. We will meet at Milford Bridge on the High Street at the bottom of the Pleasure Grounds. There is significant areas of HB on the Old Mill land and we would then work our way upstream. We ideally need one or two ‘spotters’ on the bank to work with our HB ‘guru’\, David Horne\, and hopefully one other who will working in the stream. Waders will be provided and no tools are needed as the HB can be removed by hand. \n\n\n\nAgain\, depending on numbers\, as we work upstream there are areas of vegetation that restrict the effective width/height of the path and we would like to tackle these\, particulalrly where the path is already quite narrow. \n\n\n\nPlease bring your own gloves and secateurs (if you wish to cut back vegetation) as well as drinks\, sun protection etc. All other tools we may need will be provided.. \n\n\n\nI look forward to seeing volunteers on Tuesday. As a reminder future dates for this year are shown here. Please note the date change in August for which there will be a separate communication next week. \n\n\n\nTuesday 22nd July \n\n\n\nTuesday 12th August \n\n\n\nTuesday 16th September \n\n\n\nWednesday 29th October \n\n\n\nTuesday 18th November \n\n\n\nWednesday 10th December \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery 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. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to join the list please fill in our contact form. \n\n\n\nTasks 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.  \n\n\n\nVolunteers 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. \n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						\n	\n	\n\n						\n							Add to calendar						\n						\n	\n\n					\n					\n						\n															\n									\n										Google Calendar									\n								\n															\n									\n										iCalendar									\n								\n															\n									\n										Outlook 365									\n								\n															\n									\n										Outlook Live
