Tasks will include maintenance of the perimeter hedges of the existing orchard\, cutting back etc.\, as well as further works in the area prepared in October and November for extending the orchard\, prior to planting new trees next month. This will include more work to the hedging and levelling out some of the ‘mounds’ in that area. Again\, volunteers will be able participate at their own level of comfort. Please do not forget as always protective gloves\, suitable footwear and drinks \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 URL:https://milfordconservation.org/event/conservation-task-19/ CATEGORIES:Tasks END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250118T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250118T120000 DTSTAMP:20260424T154646 CREATED:20250201T162828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250201T163434Z UID:7737-1737194400-1737201600@milfordconservation.org SUMMARY:Drop in Birding Session at Sturt Pond DESCRIPTION:This is a drop in birding session open to everyone.
