Join us for one of the best views in High Wycombe. Today we will be working in the woodland rides cutting back excess vegetation and raking the chalk grassland. If we have time we will start on the autumn coppicing.

New faces are always welcome, come for an hour or stay for the whole day.

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. You may need a sun hat and suncream if it's sunny.

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

Access: Deangarden Woods is on a steep slope and may not be suitable for people with limited mobility.

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.
