There will be a volunteer event at Fleet Pond this coming Sunday and all are welcome to attend (see below for registering).
Colin Gray, Chairman of Fleet Pond Society, writes:
“This Sunday we will be in Brookly Wood, and the nearest access point is Avondale Road if you do not come to the workshop.
The task will be to remove as many of the non-native species as possible. There are rhododendrons, cherry laurel and bamboo to be tackled. Cut material will be bagged and taken to the workshop yard for disposal.
Waterproof boots should be adequate although some areas are still wet after the recent rains. We will be working in an area where brambles can be damaging to clothes so please be prepared.”
For further information and booking (which is essential as tools and resources have to be planned beforehand), please contact Hart Countryside Services:

The Sunday volunteer tasks are supervised by a Hart Countryside Ranger together with members of Fleet Pond Society.
