A day of coppicing in the woodland and creating bundles or branches to be used in our chalk stream regeneration work. No experience is necessary, come and say hello and see what we get up to.

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

11.30: Tea & coffee break

13.00: Lunch time, please bring your own

15.00: Work finishes, time to go home, thanks for your support!

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 may need a hat and suncream.

Please bring a 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.
