Go Direct and Share Lifts if you can.

Long Orchard, Upper Icknield Way, Saunderton, Bucks, HP27 9NJ - the postcode will get you close - see the map above. We will guide you to park on the field adjacent to Long Orchard House.

Please can we ask everyone to arrive on time so that we can direct you to a safe parking space and to ensure you do not miss the health & safety and task briefing. If you are late and the session has already started, you may not be able to join. Thank you.

You don't need to print off your Eventbrite ticket!

The Task:

We are extending Duke of Burgundy friendly habitat so that it has the opportunity to spread from Far Kingdom across the road. We will be checking on the shelter belts we planted a couple of years ago and mainly working a the far end of the field cuting back scrub to create a network of sheltered glades and planting cowslips in these cool sheltered spots.

Timings (please note these timings are approximate):

10.00: Arrival on site. Task and safety briefing

10.15: Work begins

11.30: Tea & coffee break

13.00: Lunch - please bring your own

14:30: Work finishes, time to go home!

What to Bring:

Please bring your gloves (we will have spares) and dress for the weather and the task.

Long trousers are advisable as there is thorny vegetation. We also recommend wearing steel toe capped or sturdy boots rather than trainers. If it's been raining wear your wellies!

Wear layers that you can remove if you get hot whilst working. Bring a waterproof as most of our sites have no shelter from the rain.

Please bring plenty of fluids and a packed lunch. We will bring a tea kit and biscuits.

Please note:

Biscuits are served at all Chiltern Rangers sessions. Please advise if you have an allergy.

Sometimes there is a need for us to use power tools that can be noisy.
