Work parties at the Knapp & Papermill Nature Reserve, Alfrick Pound

Sunday work party:  every second Sunday of each month, start time 10.30 a.m. Contact Fergus Henderson on 01886 832065 for more details.

Wednesday morning work party: start time 9.30 a.m. Contact Jim Handley on 01886 832802 for more details.

The work parties involve keeping paths clear, bracken bashing, building and maintaining steps, maintaining the picnic site.

The work is not only beneficial to wildlife but can also be therapeutic, great for anger management when you're bashing bracken or brambles and an excellent way to keep fit. You don't have to over exert yourself and you are not committed to every work party.

Everyone is very welcome.
