What's On

Volunteer Work Parties

This work party will be held at the bottom edge of Knott Wood, when we will be clearing elder and other vegetation from the sides of the path, and hopefully preparing for an extension to the recent hedge laying. Bring a packed lunch. Tools and gauntlets will be provided. Please contact Roger on 01582 763560 to confirm if you are coming

It is planned to extend the hedge laying done earlier this winter, but if the preparation work to allow this does not occur in time, another task in the vicinity will be substituted. Please enter this date in your diaries. Confirmation of the task we will undertake will be advised in the next couple of months. Bring a packed lunch. Tools and gauntlets provided. Please confirm with Roger you will be coming on 01582 763560

Plants and trees have been used by man since he first evolved, as food, for health, for domestic purposes, and for building materials.

On this 2 mile leisurely walk on the Nickey Line we will be identifying some of the plants and trees, and explaining how they have been used.

Meet at the Friends of the Nickey Line notice board at Hunters Oak, Hemel Hempstead. Wear stout shoes
