Hi Folks,
Many thanks to the few who turned out on Friday to help with the TWIGS area in Tottington. We made a vast difference to the area by opening up it up for more light to reach their growing area. The very tidy brash fences as ever are fantastic!
Paul and I have planned the next two Woodland Management sessions which are:
Enjoy the last days of the summer period,
All the best,
Alistair

HMTC-Firing-Notice-10-Sep-to-16-Sept-2022Hi Folks,
The next Greenmount Woodland Management day is on Friday 9th September meeting at 10am. We are going to be working in the TWIGS area close to Tottington Station on the Lines.
Meet at the bridge on Kirklees Street at 10am, hopefully the gate will be open by the side of the road so parking can be off road.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Have a lovely weekend,
Alistair
