Sunday 4 August: Coastal Eco Centre, Skegness (Seagull Recycling)
Last year we helped create a habitat wall and an insect hotel (3-star), and at the end of the day gathered round the fire in the fire pit to toast marshmallows. There is always plenty to do – maintaining paths, creating dead hedges, making bug friendly habitats – and we look forward to our third visit to this inspirational site.
Meet at the Eco Centre, near Richmond Caravan Park, Skegness

Sunday 20 October: Cross O'Cliff Orchard, Lincoln (Lincolnshire County Council)
A regular October visit for us, where we provide many ‘person days’ worth of work to the custodian of this lovely, out-of-the-way orchard. Can you find the medlar tree? Work is likely to include keeping the border hedges in shape and clearing other areas that need attention. Normally we burn the cleared scrub.
Meet at the entrance on Cross O'Cliff Hill
