The Task:

A day of coppicing the woodland boundary and clearing other vegeation to allow light to help our chalk grassland thrive. Perhaps a spot of litter picking too as we make our way through these woodlands. Come for an hour or two if you can't stay for the whole day.

11.30: Tea & coffee break

13.00: Lunch time, please bring your own

15.30: Hometime, thanks for all of your hard work

What to bring:

Please bring your gloves (we will have spares) and dress for the weather and the task.

Long trousers are advisable as there may be ticks and thorny vegetation. We also recommend wearing steel toe capped or sturdy boots rather than trainers.

Wear layers that you can remove if you get hot whilst working. Bring a waterproof as most of our sites have no shelter from the rain. If it's sunny you might need a hat and suncream.

Please bring a bottle of water and a packed lunch. We will bring a tea kit and biscuits.

Please note:

Biscuits are served at all Chiltern Rangers sessions. Please advise if you have an allergy.

Sometimes there is a need for us to use power tools that can be noisy.
