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 URL:https://milfordconservation.org/event/conservation-task-27/ CATEGORIES:Tasks END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
