MONDAY VOLUNTEER CONSERVATION DAYS
|
|
|
Every Monday, whether at Harmony Woods or the Vigo Road allotment, our volunteer days bring together teamwork, laughter, and care for nature. From tree care to fence maintenance, volunteers take on a wide range of seasonal tasks. Last month, this included beating up (replacing trees that didn’t survive from last year), mulching and improving site infrastructure, among other tasks.

|
|
Last month’s Conservation Day at Harmony Woods was a great success! We spent the morning beating up along the far western hedge by the Enham gate and setting up for the Wassail. A big thank you to everyone who joined us.
