What to bring

Please dress appropriately for the weather and activity – warm clothes and sturdy footwear recommended.  Please bring gloves for working in the woods.

We will be working in the woodland using hand tools (loppers and bow saws) to cut down some small trees.  There will be uneven ground and multiple trip hazards so suitable footwear and care will be needed.
