Dear All
On behalf of the Elmbridge Countryside Team thanks to all of you who joined the working parties on Claygate Common last year. They made a tremendous difference
It doesn't feel like it but we're nearly into the next coppicing season and I attach a call for volunteers for a new set of dates.
This is very rewarding work and will make an instant impact on our local common so please can you put the dates in your diary and circulate to anyone else who might be interested
If you haven't already done so please ask Susy for a registration form: sdixon-jones@elmbridge.gov.uk
Many thanks and look forward to seeing you in the Autumn with saw in hand!
Best wishes
