Not only will you get some fresh air, great exercise and meet new people, but find out more about the local history and the nature on your doorstep. Routine tasks include cutting and digging up brambles, litter picking and we are beginning to develop a garden area. Tools and gloves are provided but wear old clothes and sensible shoes and perhaps bring a drink and a biscuit for a break. Please be COVID safe
