Sunday 3 November: Thurlby Wood (private reserve)
One of our popular sites at this time of year. We will be helping the owner with his programme of winter work at this wood near Gainsborough. It usually involves cutting back encroaching scrub and coppicing. And probably a bonfire too.
Meet at the wood entrance

Sunday 17 November: Liquorice Park, Lincoln (Liquorice Park Trustees)
This is a much cherished and super green space in the city. We will lend our support to the band of volunteers who throughout the year keep it in good shape. Work is likely to be thinning copses and cutting more paths into the brambles to help locals harvest the blackberries!
Meet at the western end of Alexandra Terrace, Lincoln

Sunday 1 December: Goslings Corner Wood (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
This is one of the smaller Lincolnshire lime/oak woods but is a great example of these nationally important woodlands. We did some lime layering back in February. Come and see if any of these have taken and do some more of the same. Also coppicing along the ride edges.
Meet at the reserve car park, Hoop Lane

Sunday 15 December: Tunman Wood (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
Existing since at least 1774 this wood, despite being extensively managed over the years, still retains the characteristics of ancient woodland. We’ve had many a winter task here. We will continue with coppicing to increase light levels within the wood. Meet at Whisby Nature Park to car share.

Sunday 29 December: Scotgrove Wood (Forestry Commission)
Our traditional festive task to bring and share uneaten mince pies etc! We enjoy the peaceful location here. We shall be cutting back re-growth, particularly on old ‘scallops’ we have previously cut into the wood margins, to encourage all sorts of life at the woodland edges.
Meet at the wood entrance just past Scotgrove Farm (Henry Lane)

Sunday 5 January: Thurlby Wood (private reserve)
Another winter visit and a chance to earn more funds for our group. We will likely be undertaking more coppicing in this super little private wood. People often leave with some bits of firewood, or hazel poles to use in their own gardens.

Sunday 19 January: Boultham Mere (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
Not far from the hustle and bustle of Tritton Road, Lincoln, but nicely tucked away, this reserve is a lovely quiet place to work, have a bonfire and socialise. We will continue with previous winters’ work of cutting back scrub and removing encroaching willow.
Meeting place to be confirmed: probably in Farm Foods car park, Tritton Road

Sunday 2 February: Scotgrove Wood (Forestry Commission)
Our second visit of the winter to continue with work started in December. It takes regular work to keep the rides from being swallowed up by the encroaching wood so our efforts in the past have made a big difference.

We haven’t worked here since 2009! It’s home to such things as glow-worms, skylarks, slow-worms and bee orchids. It has a small pond, footpaths and three meadows. Details of the work are to be confirmed but we know there will be plenty to keep us busy.
