This Sunday, 6th November, we’ll be working in the top wood at Great Llwygi from 10 am. We’ll be cutting willow and starting the rest of the coppicing; clearing the area ready for chainsaws and for young offenders to help. Do try to come as there’s a lot to be done. The next weekday work party will be on Wednesday 16 November. Looking forward to working with you
