Tasks undertaken are a mixture of conservation project work and site management including clearing vegetation, fencing, coppicing and much more.
No experience is needed. All tools, training and coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided. Suitable clothing and footwear for the weather and outdoor tasks is recommended. As Thursday and Sunday sessions run over lunch, we would advise bringing along some lunch with you.
