Things to bring – gardening gloves, garden shears and garden rakes, the ones you would use for raking up leaves will be best, if you have them

The main tasks for this session will be raking up cut grass and cutting more of the grass around the gravestones.

We hope you will be able to join us for this sessions.  Lex and Sally will provide as many tools as possible but it would be helpful if some people could bring their own.  If you haven’t already done so, could we please ask everyone who intends coming to work parties to provide the contact details specified in the table below.  Lex has been reviewing our procedures in relation to risk assessments and has found that these details are supposed to be lodged with the Town Council. The procedures state that ‘All information will be kept safe and confidential.’

Please contact Lex or Sally if you have any queries.  It would be helpful if you could let us know if you are attending a session to help ensure we have enough tools, tea, coffee and cake.  Lex works for the Town Council on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  His work mobile is 07508 427026. Alan’s phone number is 07767 054530.

If you know anyone else who may be interested, could you please forward this to them.

Greener Henley Wildlife Group sessions

Our sessions are generally pleasant and sociable occasions. Some of the work is quite strenuous, but there are always lighter tasks for those who would prefer them, for whatever reason. We have a break mid-morning when refreshments are provided: tea, coffee and cake. Please bring your own gardening gloves. Any gardening gloves will be all right for tasks like pulling Himalayan Balsam but heavier ones will be needed for working with brambles. No previous experience is necessary, and tools are usually provided. Tough clothes and stout footwear are recommended. Marsh Meadows is often wet underfoot so waterproof footwear is recommended when we are working there, particularly if working in the pond area. Volunteers are welcome to join us for the full three hours or any part of them.

If you intend coming to work parties and haven’t already provided the information in the table below, could I please ask you to do so.
