.
WEDNESDAY 3rd _ and _ SUNDAY 7th ( from 2 pm till 5 pm)
.
๐ด SEPTEMBER "To-Do" LIST ( so farโฆ ) ๐ด

1/ THE STREAM =
Rebuilding the bridge pipe outflow and clearing it of pallets, wood and any other debris before the autumn rains start, which would cause flooding.

Enhancing existing dead hedges, and if enough volunteers turn up to help us out, create a new dead hedge!

cutting back along the paths.

The Green Metal Container by the entrance into the Spinney from Bewick Green at the top of the hill.

.
โ๏ธMORE HELPERS NEEDED โ๏ธ
There is always much work to be done to keep Long Spinney well-maintained, so we need as much help as we can get from residents and Long Spinney users!
.
Not all the work that we do are hard work or involves heavy lifting!
Easier jobs would include: Cutting back brambles and nettles with secateurs or sweeping boardwalks from mud or wet leaves in the autumn and winter, for example!
.
Any time you can spare to help us ( even if it's just an hour!) makes a huge difference and is much appreciated by the volunteers.
.
๐คWe hope to see you on Wednesday and/or Sunday ๐ค
.
Don't hesitate to reply with any comments, questions or suggestions.
P.S

Many thanks
The Long Spinney Team
