SUMMARY:Conservation Working Party Dec 2020
DESCRIPTION:It is with great pleasure that Friends of Fox Hill can announce that Wokingham Borough Council has given us planning permission to perform conservation activities within Fox Hill woods. Please join us to give the woods some much needed love and attention. \n\n\n\nThe session will involve a variety of activities: \n\n\n\nCut back an area of rhododendron to ground level creating more light to the forest floor. The purpose of this is to create more biodiversity in the woodland. The brash removed will be used to create dead hedging\, a valuable wildlife habitat\, and the larger branches will be used to improve pathways.Plant native bluebells in the area already clearedCreate log stacks\, and remove the dead wood resting on healthy trees.Add brash covers to younger saplings to protect from feeding deer.\n\n\n\nNo prior knowledge is necessary as instruction will be given at the start of the session. \n\n\n\nMeet at the Dorset Way entrance\, opposite Heron Park. Please wear suitable footwear\, strong gloves and bring your own tools if you have them. Useful tools are loppers\, secateurs\, pruning saws and bow saws. \n\n\n\nWe’d love you to come and join us! The session is open to anyone sixteen or over\, but due to COVID19 our numbers are restricted\, and pre-registration of your interest is required. Please register your interest by emailing events@friendsoffoxhill.org to ensure we have enough places available. You will then be sent the associated risk assessment. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDorset Way entrance to Fox Hill woods\n\nView Larger Map

SUMMARY:Conservation Working Party - December
DESCRIPTION:Please join our FOFH conservation working party in the woods. \nOur medium term aim is to work in one small area to create more light as this will increasebiodiversity. We are removing the invasive ground cover which is mainly holly and sycamore andusing this to create a dead hedge. Dead hedges encourage a greater variety of wildlife and make useof the scrub we have cleared. Most of the larger dead wood will be left unless it is impeding thegrowth of neighbouring trees. Dead standing wood that is not dangerous will also be left as this is avaluable habitat. \nOur sessions will begin with introductions and a short health and safety briefingWe will provide traditional woodland hand tools and instruction will be given. Everyone isencouraged to work within their capabilities and there will be a mixture of jobs. \nHalfway through we will stop for a short break and you are encouraged to ask at any time if youhave questions about the tools or the work you are doing. \nYou will need sturdy shoes\, warm waterproof clothing\, gardening gloves and something to drink – a flask of something hot is ideal for the winter months. \nIf you’re thinking of attending\, or would like more information please let us know by sending an email to events@friendsoffoxhill.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDorset Way entrance to Fox Hill woods\n\nView Larger Map
