All tasks start from the Countryside Workshop, Old Pump House Close (next to 65 Kenilworth Road), Fleet at 9.30 am. All tools are provided. Please wear old clothing and strong waterproof boots or wellingtons. Protective gloves are available and wellingtons can be supplied for young volunteers. A warm drink and a tasty snack is supplied mid-morning (but bring your own supplies if staying much longer than midday).
Tasks usually stop around 1.30 or 2 pm but we can continue after lunch if enough volunteers decide to stay (this is relatively unusual). For further information, please see About section above (which includes a map of locations).
Many people take photos at Fleet Pond and then post them on the web – the picture above is an example.
