This is just a quick reminder that our next Task Event is scheduled for Saturday, 6 September, 10.00 - 12.00 hrs.
Now that the nesting season is over and the bluebells have not yet started to show above ground level, we can get back to removing excess sycamores saplings in the wood. Some of the paths will need nettles, etc trimmed back, and there may be more log lining to do. We would also like to do a gate survey, to assess how many people visit Chaddesden Wood. And of course, there will be the usual litter pick and anything else that we think necessary on the day, (which may include installing some replacement benches if we have them!)
We will meet at the Springwood Drive entrance to the woodland as usual.
Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing and bring gardening gloves if you have them. We will provide tools, hi-vis waistcoats and gloves for those who do not have them.
I would like to thank our new volunteers and remind you that you do not need any prior knowledge to come and help us.
Kind regards,
Nick Charles
Secretary, Friends of Chaddesden Wood
