Hi Ray, thanks for the offer, which I'd be happy to take you up on. At the moment, because most of our volunteers are retired, we tend to hold working parties during the week. I'll raise the issue of starting some at week ends and get back to you.
I am a member and volunteered last year pulling Himalayan Balsam and helping at the the Open Day and getting posters into shops etc. I thought there would be a list of people like me who could do volunteering. I have just found this message. I thought most people would only be available at weekends due to work. If you want a volunteer at weekends?
Help needed Since we had all the work done on No.3 bed, our problem with Himalayan Balsam, an invasive"alien" plant has increased dramatically (due to the seed stocks uncovered by the contractors). Every Thursday between now and the end of July we'll be holding working parties to hand-pull and clear some areas. Hopefully, in a year or two we can get rid of the lot. So, if anyone can come down and help, you'd be very welcome. We'll be starting at 9.00 am, meeting on the No.3 bed car park. Or if, like me, you want to do a bit of birding first, come down at 7.00 am for brekky in the Morgan Hide. You don't need to be a member or have a key, as we could arrange access and give you a chance to see this great birding site. Let me know if you are coming, if you need access, or just turn up Bring gardening gloves, bins and butties.
