Hi Sarah,

I have been meaning to contact you as I thought you would be coming soon.
Unfortunately I agreed to work part of the 23rd just yesterday.  I may be able
to come for an hour or so in the morning.  I will forward the email to our
members and if you think it would be a good idea I could put a notice in the
board to ask if anyone would like to come along.

Benches is a great idea.

As far as the stream is concerned it is very clogged up with “stuff” around
when the path goes onto Reynolds lane. It looks like quite a big job to me.
Perhaps we could have a quick chat about it on the 23rd.

Best wishes,

Jennie

Dear All

We have a volunteer task scheduled for 23rd June, 10am-3pm and I am painfully
aware that I have not contacted you about this as yet! I am so sorry to have
left it so late.

My plan for the day is to make and install some very simple benches in a few
areas around the field margins and I wondered if any of the group had any
thoughts about this; good/bad idea, placement etc? Depending on how many people
come, we may also be building some hibernacula. Essentially this involves
digging a hole, filling it with logs and covering it back over. This provides
the perfect winter hibernation area for reptiles and amphibians and will be
placed down near the stream.

I recently had an email from Kasia at the Borough Council regarding stream
clearance work and I wondered if you would be able to give me more of an idea
of what you were thinking, i.e. is there a lot of litter in the stream that
needs clearing or were you thinking more about vegetation? I would be very
happy to organise a weekend task if this is something the Friends would be
interested in.

Please do let me know your thoughts,

Best wishes

Sarah
