On these Conservation Days, you will spend the day carrying out various woodland management tasks such as path maintenance, tree planting and small scale coppicing. Volunteers will be tooled up and guided through the various projects. A hearty healthy free lunch will be provided – GF&DF soup (guten/dairy free) and homebaked bread. Participants welcome to bring their own additional snacks, as desired. Simply book, and arrive warmly dressed with sturdy footwear and a keenness to get stuck in and learn. Days will run 10am-4pm. All tools and safety guidance will be provided, as well as hot drinks over the wood burning stove.
Participants are asked to make their own way to Sallerton Wood. Please see the Location page of this website for the location of Sallerton Wood.
