The Task:

Today will be a busy day cutting and felling trees to help light in through the woodland canopy and create a wonderful habitat for wildlife and an enjoyable place for people to visit. Tasks suitable for all ages and abilities, come and say hello!

Timings (please note these timings are approximate):

10.00: Arrival on site for safety briefing, please don't be late!

11.30: Tea & coffee break

13.00: Lunchtime, please bring your own

15.00 Hometime, thanks for all of your hard work!

What to bring:

Please bring your gloves (we will have spares) and dress for the weather and the task.

Long trousers are advisable as there may be ticks and thorny vegetation. We also recommend wearing steel toe capped or sturdy boots rather than trainers.

Wear layers that you can remove if you get hot whilst working. Bring a waterproof as most of our sites have no shelter from the rain. If it's sunny you might need a hat and suncream.

Please bring plenty of fluids and a packed lunch. We will bring a tea kit and biscuits.

Please note:

Biscuits are served at all Chiltern Rangers sessions. Please advise if you have an allergy.

Sometimes there is a need for us to use power tools that can be noisy.
