The Task:Scrub bashing!Many people ask us why we are doing this as a scrub-bash can often look destructive. It is an essential conservation task, giving the chalk grassland much needed breathing space so wildflowers can grow providing a welcoming habitat to different species.The larger trees we cut down are normally turned into log piles. These are perfect sanctuary for small mammals like hedgehogs &amp; voles, reptiles including slow worms &amp; common lizard and invertebrates such as beetles. Timings (please note these timings are approximate):10.00: Arrival on site for task and safety briefing, please don't be late10.15: Activity begins11.30: Tea and coffee break13.00: Lunch time, please bring your own15.30: Home time, thanks for your support! 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 may need a hat and suncream.Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids. 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. Anything else?Please call 01494 474486 or email info@chilternrangers.co.uk with any questions.
