SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point:  Footpath just upstream from Milford Bridge opposite the avenue of bamboo. \n\n\n\nTask: Clear invasive bamboo on the banks of the Danestream \n\n\n\nIf 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 \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

SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point:   MEG bridge. \n\n\n\nTask:    \n\n\n\nThe March task session is almost upon us although unfortunately we have to change the day as Graham’s Parish Council team are not now available on the planned date. We have agreed that the revised date will be Thursday 14th March\, meeting at around 10 am by the MEG bridge. \n\n\n\nAt our last session the three Davids\, Ian and myself cut back a large area of invasive rhododendron in the Upper Pleasure Grounds. Many thanks again guys. As a lighter task next Thursday\, there are still four or five much smaller rhododendrons that can be cut back in the Lower Pleasure grounds before they become too established. If there are one or two volunteers who are willing to take on this task\, please let me know and we can make separate arrangements to meet. \n\n\n\nThe main task with the PC will be\, weather permitting\, to pick up the drainage maintenance and footpath repair task that was originally scheduled for February\, particularly the area where the overtopping\, which is fed by an active spring\, has scoured the footpath. \n\n\n\nProtective gloves are essential\, along with fluids to drink and wellies remain the most appropriate footwear. It is always good to see new and regular faces on our task sessions so I hope that some of you will be able to join next week. \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
