Coppetts Wood Conservationists have asked for our help managing habitats in the Glebelands Nature Reserve.
The dry weather has left the water level in some ponds low enough to allow safe access for volunteer to clear vegetation around the edges. There's only a limited window to get in there before rain fills them up again. The main task will be digging bulrushes from the banks.
We'll meet at the Phoenix Cinema as usual and run or walk to the meeting point. If you want to cycle, you can probably lock your bicycle to railings at the nearby leisure park but it may not be secure.
We'll meet Brian at the sign on the path along the Glebelands Open Space. Approximate w3w location - look for the sign at the entrance to the nature reserve along this path. If you're meeting us on location, aim for about 7:20pm.
Brian says the task should take 5 volunteers around an hour, but with Goodgym's help the task should be done in no time. If there's time to spare, we'll use the fitness equipment along the path next to the nature reserve or plog the path along the side of the council pond outside the Glebelands.
