Conservation Work - Past
Bowling Park Community Orchard
We will be summer pruning apple trees, path cutting and tying in some wild flowers that are hanging over the paths.

There is an opportunity to recycle old tree guards in September, so we will be separating the recyclable tree guards from the usable ones as well as path cutting.
No Task Day
I'm afraid due to unforseen circumstances there will be no task day this Friday.
However, our task programme bringing us into September, will be with you shortly.

We will be continuing our task of clearing the bays and sawing wood for habitat piles and future charcoal burning.
If you'd like a lift from Culture Fusion at 10am please let us know.
Stoney Ridge Plantation
Tomorrow we will be continuing our work organising the storage bays on site. We may also start chopping/sawing some of a large pile of logs into smaller sizes.
This is with a view to making it usable for future possible charcoal making activities.
Please get in touch if you would like a lift at 10am from Culture Fusion.
