Dear member, 24th February 2008 Hedge-laying: final push – volunteers urgently needed! Our teams have managed to clear, thin out and ‘pleach’ (cut and bend sideways) the shrubs for well over half the length of the 170m Community Hedge in Cambridge Lane. This process needs to be applied to the remaining stretch before the end of February. After that, wildlife, especially nesting birds, risk being disturbed. (The ‘binding’ along the top could be completed through the summer). We are currently working on Sunday mornings* from 10am to 1pm. Please join us for a while, if you are free. There is work for gents and ladies, no previous experience is required, equipment is provided (but bring marked secateurs, loppers, bill-hooks, and pruning saws if you have them). Bring gardening gloves, stout foot wear, and a flask of coffee if required. There is plenty of car parking space in the field. No need to notify – just turn up for some constructive exercise in the fresh air! To find us, take the first turning on the left as you come up Lynsted Lane from the junction with London Road opposite the Coop. Go along Cambridge Lane to the field gate opposite ‘Pippins’. Enter. Our H-L leader John Jackson will be glad to welcome you! Best wishes, Bob Baxter, * We may stage weekday work as well – details by general agreement. |
