The location is shown on the attached map and we are aiming to meet there with the PC team at 10.00 am. We will assist the PC team spreading scalpings between the previously installed edge boards. Obviously this is a more physical task. For anyone who wishes to attend and undertake a ‘lighter’ task there are a number of trees on the common where it would be desirable to cut back brambles around the base of trees\, particularly in areas used by local residents and visitors. \n\n\n\nThe weather forecast for next Tuesday is currently sunny and warm\, so please do not forget your drinks and protection from the sun\, in addition to suitable footwear  and gloves. For volunteers who prefer to engage in the lighter cutting back task\, bring your favourite pair of secateurs\, although loppers will be available. \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-22/ CATEGORIES:Tasks END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250517T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250517T120000 DTSTAMP:20260424T091002 CREATED:20250201T164906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250201T164907Z UID:7748-1747476000-1747483200@milfordconservation.org SUMMARY:Drop in Birding Session at Sturt Pond DESCRIPTION:This is a drop in birding session open to everyone.
