It’s that time of the year again – when George Green of WWT leads Sunday work parties in Oakley Wood, allowing volunteers to assist with a variety of tasks. It’s a great way to feel you are contributing to the health of the wood, and it’s good for your health too.

This is George’s schedule with currently planned activities, although they do tend to be flexible:

Please contact George () if you want to participate. This is to give him an idea of how many will attend, and for first timers, sort out any necessary admin (this is a prerequisite if you’ve not attended before, otherwise you will not be allowed to participate). General information about volunteering is essentially unchanged from this earlier post. Bring your own refreshments, it’s usually thirsty work . Some kind volunteers have been known to bring some to share around – could that be you?

Unless otherwise mentioned, we meet at the loading bay, off the B4100 Banbury Road at 10.00. George asks you not to arrive early as you risk backing up onto the busy road. He aims to arrive for around 09:50 to open the double gates. Activities normally run until around 13.00 (first session on Sept 29  George is intending to run a bit longer, until 15.00) but there’s no problem if you need to leave earlier.

I’ll try to post a reminder for each activity a little while before it takes place.
