A day hosted by the HCS Southern Sites team installing new fencing at Botley Wood. Two barbed-wire fence lines, each 46m, across the field with a field gate in each. To make a corridor at the intended timber extraction point. Geoff to lead. That’ll be 12 strainer posts to dig in and 24 intermediate posts to drive in!

Do not arrive before 09:30 as the gate will be locked. Once inside park on a wide track on the left, opposite a 20mph sign. Do not park along the access road.

Bird-seed muffins at Coffee-time,  Martin will provide a summer BBQ lunch, which we will follow with our AGM.
