Weekend of 16-17 March: Bransdale, Yorkshire (National Trust)
A weekend away in a newly refurbished water mill. We last stayed here in 2011. We will know the work details nearer the time, but whatever we do, it will be in lovely surroundings. We will just be working on the Saturday, with Sunday free for a walk. What’s not to like?
Shared travel on Friday evening, arrangements to be confirmed

We shall be helping the owner of this private nature reserve, located alongside the River Witham, with ongoing maintenance – clearing and burning brash, clearing footbridges and dead heading the many daffodils throughout the grounds – and probably having a bonfire.

Sunday 21 April: South Common, Lincoln (City of Lincoln Council)
A welcome return to this 80-hectare Common, designated a site of nature conservation importance. Our last task here was in 2010! Details of the work are not known at present but will be appropriate to the time of year. It is a good place to see short eared owls hunting during the day.
Probably meet on Cross O'Cliff Hill - to be confirmed

Sunday 19 May: Monks Wood (Nettleham Woodland Trust)
We will be helping NWT with a variety of spring jobs at this community woodland, part of Ashing Lane Nature Reserve. Tasks may include mulching around trees, laying bark chippings on paths and some ride management. Volunteers from the Co-op may be joining this workday too. Last year’s group photo showed 25 people were there. Can we beat that this year?
Meet at the reserve on Ashing Lane, just north of Lincoln off the A46 Dunholme bypass

Sunday 2 June: Hartsholme Park, Lincoln (City of Lincoln Council)
We have offered our services for seasonal work, as yet unknown! In the past jobs have included clearing ragwort, building steps and working by the lakes helping to repair damaged edges. I’m sure amongst the 200 acres there will be some valuable work for us to do that will help keep this country park in good condition for its many visitors.
Meet at Hartsholme Rangers Office (opposite the cafe)

Our annual visit to this smashing little reserve. Most likely we will be re-staining fencing, seating and signage and scything and cutting back growth to keep the paths clear.
