Friends of Hillsborough January Volunteer day

Hello Everyone
I am pleased to confirm the next volunteer day will be on Wednesday 21st January 10.00 - 3.30.
Like before we will meet at the Pitch and Putt entrance/Friends of Hillsborough container by Larkstone car park:

All tools including gloves will be provided but please bring a packed lunch/drinks as required.
The plan depending on numbers and the weather is to do the following:
1) Maintain the recently restored views at the top of Hillsborough, primarily clearing scrub and cutting back last yearโ€™s growth of Blackthorn. Clear a small area adjacent to the path up to the top of Hillsborough. This will open up a new vista looking south east to the valley/hills behind Hele.
2) Clear and tidy up the entrance to Hillsborough at the top of the Pitch and Putt field including the Coast path steps. Repair the collapsed stone wall in the entrance area. Remove overhanging branches and scrub from some of the paths.
3) Cut overhanging branches/scrub on paths and pick up any litter.
Any new volunteers are most welcome and as always can do just as much or little as they can/want to!
Hope to see you there and fingers crossed as ever for good volunteering weather.
Please note that if we have to cancel the day due to poor weather or any other reason, myself or Ian will cancel the 'Event' on our Facebook Group page and also send out an email to those followers/volunteers that we have on our Friends of Hillsborough contacts document.
Best regards
Bob
