Weekly update, 24th October


And just like that, we're nearly done with October! Hope you're all well. It's short and sweet from me this week, though we have lots going on with the Thursday and Friday Groups as usual. We're well into the autumn/winter work now and there's plenty more to get done!

The snap above is possibly my favourite 'in action' shot of Friday Group ever! Not a bad life eh...

Have a splendid week,

Hannah
Volunteering Development Manager

What the volunteers have been up to:

Thursday Group (Abingdon), 19th October

The group were at Thrupp Lake finishing off cutting back the vegetation on the circular walk, putting down some woodchip, fixing the bridge and starting on some coppicing. The next session is 26th October at Thrupp Lake.

Friday Group (Little Wittenham), 20th October

The coppicing continued in Paradise Wood this week. This woodland is a vitally important resource for researchers and this kind of work is crucial to keep it in good condition. The next session is 27th October.

Coming up...

Half term is happening!

Half term is well underway but we're still after extra pairs of hands if you can spare a few hours. Please get in touch if you can help with Wildlife Wednesday at Neptune Wood or Discover and Play (Friday 27th).
