Jubilee Wood
Winter maintenance
The Jubilee Wood is in need of some ground maintenance. The area to the right of the main entrance is encroaching onto the grass ride. A five metre band from the entrance to the central grass area needs to be cleared, leaving just the planted trees.
You will need to bring loppers, shears, pruning saws and stout gloves or whatever you have in your garden maintenance armoury.
This work will commence from Saturday 15th November and for the following 3 Saturday’s starting at 10am for a couple of hours or however long you can give. I’m sure we can arrange a coffee break for 11am
