Derek is task leader today instead of Iain who met with Paul Budd 28/4 and was joined by Lou, the site gardener. It’s familiar work using loppers to cut back the growth on the big slope but stacking brash, no bonfire!

Also some chainsaw & pole cutter work to clear low but big shrub branches from over part of the rear playground using rakes & pitch forks to stackle brash behind.

Light duties could be hoeing off weeds along the pathway outside the classrooms.

Derek and Paul would be available to ‘support/guide’ our efforts and ensure access to toilets.

PPE – Head eye and glove protection required , thorn proof trousers recommended.

Parking within the school grounds and picnic under the trees.

First shrub cuttings

Hot work would be better in the autumn

Tea break at Western School

Nearly finished dead hedge
