SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point: Community Meadow \n\n\n\nTask:  To undertake tasks focussed on maintenance and the longer term management of the meadow. \n\n\n\nThe tasks will include\, \n\n\n\n\nConstruction of a three section compost bin from timber pallets\,\n\n\n\nPlanting two commemorative trees\, if available. If they are not\, I am hoping we will be able to dig the ground for tree pits where they are intended to be located.\n\n\n\nHedgerow trimming and shaping\, and\n\n\n\nPositioning logs no longer required in the MCV log store as stools under the meadow holm oaks.\n\n\n\n\nWe will meet as normal at around 10.00 am at the Community Meadow which can be accessed from the churchyard or the end of Knowland Drive/Dacres Walk. The weather forecast for Wednesday is for possible light showers\, so the ground may be wet and possibly slippery underfoot\, so appropriate footwear should be worn. Protective gloves and a drink are also recommended. \n\n\n\nI look forward to seeing volunteers on Wednesday. \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: Barnes Lane Recreation Ground \n\n\n\nTask:  Shrub and Tree Clearance  \n\n\n\nBefore we head back to the Community Meadow\, Pleasure Grounds and Studland Common in the period through to next spring\, next Tuesday\, we will be returning to Barnes Lane Recreation Ground. The task will continue on shrub and tree clearance along the southern boundary of the recreation ground that was started with the Parish Council and local residents on a very hot day in June 2024. The task will involve cutting back and disposal of vegetation and volunteers can choose between lighter or heavier activities to suit themselves. \n\n\n\nWe will meet as normal at around 10.00 am at the recreation ground. The weather forecast for Tuesday is currently dry\, but after the rain of the last week or so\, the ground will be wet and possibly slippery underfoot\, so appropriate footwear should be worn\, along with protective gloves. Whilst it should not be as warm as last month’s session\, please do not forget your fluids.

SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point:  Churchyard Entrance See map below \n\n\n\nTask:  Clearing entrance to meadow and laying paving \n\n\n\n\n\nAs we head into the end of the summer and autumn we will have more sessions in the Community Meadow and this month\, we will be focussing on improving accessibility at the entrance from the church yard (blue arrow on map) and from Dacres Walk/Knowland Drive (red arrow). This will involve at the church yard entrance\, cutting back overhanging shrubs/tree branches and removal of posts that inhibit access by pushchairs and wheelchairs. At the Dacres Walk entrance\, the plan is to level off the short length of rough ground from the footpath to the gate and lay 6 or 8 paving slabs. \n\n\n\nThe weather forecast for Tuesday is for warm sunshine\, so please bring fluids and protection from the sun as well as suitable gloves and footwear. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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.
