Volunteer Event This Sunday

Our task for Sunday 10th February is some more scrub clearance, this time on Fugelmere Marsh, close to Sandy Bay Bridge. There is a large pile of previously cut material to burn so, weather permitting, baked potatoes will be on the menu.

As usual please assemble at the Countryside Workshop, Old Pump House Close, Fleet, GU51 3DN at 9.00 a.m. for a 9.15 start. Please park in Kenilworth Road as parking very limited at the workshop. Wellington boots or waterproof boots recommended as the soil will be wet and muddy. We have some protective gloves and all tools are provided.

A warm drink is available mid-morning but bring your own water if needed.   The weather forecast is reasonable at the moment but this can of course change.

Let us know if you are coming to ensure we load enough tools. Phone: 01252 623443
