SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point: Milford Bridge (High Street/Park Lane) \n\n\n\nTask:  Tidying pathways in Pleasure Grounds   \n\n\n\nThe focus will be on some of the tasks noted during a walkover in October. We will be working our way through the Pleasure Grounds removing any sapling sycamore\, willow\, bay or rhododendron encountered near the path. We will also check and clean out any nest boxes and also note locations requiring drainage maintenance\, and new/additional timber shuttering in the spring/summer.  Please as always wear appropriate footwear\, it may be wet and slippery in places\, and protective gloves. If you have your own pair of secateurs you can bring along that would be useful. \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: 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.

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. 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: 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.

SUMMARY:Conservation Task
DESCRIPTION:Organiser: Adrian Palmer \n\n\n\nMeeting Point: Keyhaven Observatory \n\n\n\nTask:  Maintenance at Keyhaven Observatory \n\n\n\nWe are going to concentrate on MCV ‘assets’ and undertake maintenance at the Keyhaven Observatory. The primary task will be to paint all the exposed wooden railings and platform with a preservative\, following some light preparation work as required. Some localised trimming of hedges/brambles may be required to gain access. David Horne will acquire the preservative\, brushes and sandpaper and we will meet at the usual time of 10.00am at the Observatory. \n\n\n\nThe weather forecast for Thursday is currently OK\, slight chance of showers overnight and early morning\, but reasonably warm\, good weather for the task in hand. In addition to fluids\, sun protection etc.\, please bring your own gloves and overalls. We do have some gloves in the store\, but inevitably they may not be the sizes and/or quantity that we may need. \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.
