The grid references refer to Landranger sheet 153. Where the reference is shown as "?" the location of the site has yet to be decided, so contact us for further details. This is a condensed version of our task programme. Please come along and join us. The pick up details are at the end of this page. If you wish to make your own way, please Email us a couple of days before hand so we have some idea of numbers. Also, tasks very occasionally change, and we can update you in time.
Bring your lunch, we provide the tea breaks. Dress warm.
6 January Bromham Mill, Bromham GR 010 506 WOODLAND WORK
We are back at the mill, coppicing and pollarding the willows that grow along the mill race and River Ouse. A nice and easy way to start the year and work off some of the Christmas excesses. I expect we will have a big fire, so if it is cold, you can keep warm when you stop moving. Plenty of parking, see you there.
A typical footbridge built by volunteers.
13 January Flitwick Wood, Flitwick GR 024 350 HEDGELAYING
A bit of Hedgelaying on the North Western boundary of this wood. Please give Colin a bell so he can tell you the best place to park.
20 January Flitton Moor, Flitton GR 055 368 WOODLAND WORK
A new site for us, so well worth a visit. Please give the Tom a ring for parking arrangements.
