Transport & Address:
Meeting location: We will be working on the chalk bank but entering the site via the gate off Roundwood Road (between houses 28 and 30) HP12 4HE
There is limited on street parking in the vicinity but be aware of double yellow lines!
Please can we ask everyone to arrive on time to ensure you do not miss the health & safety and task briefing. If you are late and the session has already started, you may not be able to join. Thank you.
You don't need to print off your Eventbrite ticket!
The Task:
A day of lopping, chopping and burning as we keep the encroaching scrub from marching forward and engulfing the precious chalk grassland.
Timings (please note these timings are approximate):
10.00: Arrival on site. Task and safety briefing
10.15: Work begins
11.30: Tea & coffee break
13.00: Lunch - please bring your own
15.30: Work finishes, time to go home!
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. Or a hat and sun cream if it's sunny.
Please bring plenty of fluids and a packed lunch. We will bring a tea kit and biscuits.
Access:
Highfield & Hangingcroft is steeply sloping in some areas and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
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.
Anything else?
