Ravenshill Weekend
Our annual trip to Ravenshill Wood is the most popular conservation
task of the year. It is an Ancient semi-natural
woodland reserve in the Malvern Hills managed as an important wildlife
habitat, a resource for traditional woodland skills such as charcoal
burning, and as an open reserve for walkers and school groups. We stay in a village hall and work on a privately
managed reserve doing all sorts of things. There is hot food laid-on for
lunch and a good pub just down the road.
Have a look in the scrapbook for previous
visits.

Lower Woods
As usual our task will be coppicing, a kind of slightly more skilled
version of scrub-bashing where we chop down trees as well as
bushes/brambles. SSI Ancient semi-natural woodland managed
through traditional coppicing techniques to provide material for
traditional woodland crafts and maintain a rich diversity of wildlife.
