Conservation Work Parties at Moor Green

Conservation work parties at Moor Green Lakes start at 10:30 and continue until about 15:30 or 16:00. Anyone is welcome, including non-members; just turn up. Volunteers are welcome to attend for just a few hours if they can't spare time for the whole session. Protective equipment and tools are provided for the tasks planned, but you will need to dress in suitable clothing; brambles feature in most of the activities, so old clothing is recommended. Tea/coffee and biscuits are provided, you may want to bring a packed lunch if you are staying all day. Assemble at the Car Park off Lower Sandhurst Road by 10:30 unless otherwise stated.

If you are interested in being kept up to date with the tasks and news of work parties, then contact Simon Weeks, the Site Liaison Officer on 0118 9730199, or email him at simon.weeks@mglg.org.uk.

The winter 2008/09 Work Parties are scheduled as follows - the tasks have yet to be allocated but you can bet that Bramble clearance figures on quite a few these.

The work party will be clearing the scrape and vegetation from around Colebrook hide and the bird-feeding station will also be repaired. As an extra incentive to attend, Blackwater Valley will be providing a free BBQ for all who come along and help.

We will be concentrating on clearing bramble, scrub and tree growth along the northern shore of Colebrook Lake North.
