Sunday 3 May: Monks Wood (Nettleham Woodland Trust)
We will be helping the Trust with whatever seasonal work they need doing. It is about seven years since our first visit here and it’ll be nice to see how the wood is maturing and to see the height of the trees now compared to when we helped plant them as tiny ‘whips’.
Meet at the reserve on Ashing Lane, just north of Lincoln off the A46 Dunholme bypass.
