Sunday 25th January - Not wanting to miss out on the action enjoyed by our mid week comrades, Roundshaw Downs provided the full weather experience for today's ten strong team as they spent the morning clearing encroaching bramble.

Thursday 22nd January 2026 - It was another large team of volunteers out for todays task-day emanating from the Western division of Roundshaw Woods.

With the main action of the day occurring in the Hazel coppice area the team had a lot to get their teeth into even with the very fine drizzle that accompanied them for much of the duration.

As the coppicing built up a steady head of steam other members of the volunteers moved slightly away from the felling zone to tackle the ever present Snowberry and the processing of the harvested Hazel into stakes for the sagging dead-hedges, before the more whippy material could be used to regenerate the feature.

Wednesday 21st January - The team braved today's torrential rain to complete a bit more of the pond platform works, as well as some vegetation clearance work in another part of the grounds.

Tuesday 20th January 2026 - A reprieve from the rain was overdue for the volunteers and was well and truly welcomed on todays task which took place at Queen Marys Woodland.

With a slight chill in the air as the wind blew, the team split into two divisions heading roughly North and South for an assortment of vegetation control and tree felling.

Starting in the the central woods and then working North one team continued thinning out abundant Sycamore poles (the pre-xmas session being cut short due to rain!) in the ongoing efforts to rejuvenate the understorey canopy by making space for future Tree whip planting, needless to say some effort was also expended on clearing a thick carpet of Bramble too.

Down with the Southern contingent the Tree-popper was put through it's paces as areas of Snowberry were targeted and pre-cut trees and branches languishing around the Sheep fencing were extricated and added to dead-hedges.
