What's Going On?

I can't believe the endow another season is already in sight with a record number of sessions already behind us. Fortunately the weather has been with us so far, with the increased number of sessions proving ever popular with the members.

Graham has continued to carry out invaluable work in planning what we do, where we do it and how we achieve the overall objectives in the wood. Of course there remains an overriding objective to ensure we all get the logs we work so hard for, the by product being excellent quality woodland management in line with the expectations of the Woodland Trust.

Every month is busy, but the weeks since Christmas have been packed with activity. A huge amount of work carried out on ride-edge clearing, tracks cut into the woods for extraction, management of a number of difficult larger trees and a steady progression through the compartments. Thank you everyone for the continued hard work.

Lots also going on around the development of the group and membership growth. Plenty to read about in the articles below.

Don't forget to regularly check the booking system as dates are being added
