Enviro Volunteers Needed

The Enviro.volunteers have some important dates ahead which we’d like as much help with as possible.
Saturday Feb.6th – Tree and hedge planting – 9:30am @ The Copse (opp. The Railway Vue). A few years ago the enviro.volunteers embarked on a major thinning and replanting programme in The Copse. As part of this we cleared and planted a new hedge along the edge of New Road. It was hard work but great fun too. We also had help from the Air Cadets, the Guides and even the Brownies. Our past efforts have really paid off and everyone can see it is really becoming quite established now! …..However a few gaps have appeared which need to be re-planted, plus it needs a general weeding and re-mulching. We’d really like your help again, so if you can spare a little time we’ll be meeting up at 9:30am on Saturday Feb.6th. As usual all tools and refreshments will be provided. This time however, although not essential, it would be helpful if you could bring along a small sharp spade. Further details of all our activities are available on our website http://hisimp.net/enviro/index.htm Details are also regularily sent out via our mailing list, to join simply email your details to enviro@hisimp.net

Saturday Feb.13th – Tree planting – 9:30am @ The Copse (opp. The Railway Vue). The enviro.volunteers have already made a huge start on implementing the woodland management programme for The Copse. Part of this has included clearing out a lot of unwanted Sycamore saplings. They have been helped by the probation service’s Community Pay back scheme so we now have several areas ready for planting with some native species…… so we’d really like your help again! If you can spare a little time we’ll be meeting up at 9:30am on Saturday Feb.13th. As usual all tools and refreshments will be provided, although not essential it would be helpful this time if you could bring along a small sharp spade.
