Grass cutting below Combe Hill Wood, nr Street

Combe Hill Wood, nr Street


Our annual visit to this lovely site in the Polden Hills.

Our task will be to clear the grassland areas with brushcutters and remove the arisings. We have done this job for several years and the improvement in the floweriness of the habitat has been very noticeable. This site is owned and managed by the Ninesquare Trust.


Meet in the carpark at 9am .

Phone me on 07981.776767 if you cannot find us, (though, please note, the signal is poor in the wood.)
We will provide the tools for the work, but please bring your own mug  and refreshments, your packed lunch with you – and working gloves. If you can offer a lift or need one, contact me in advance of the task (07981.776767 or email: nigelspring@yahoo.co.uk ). It may be possible to arrange something.
If you are a chainsaw or brushcutter user, you will need your own PPE and you should have attended a refresher course in the last five years.

If we do not finish the task on Wednesday 28th we will return the following day to complete it.

It would help with the planning if you could let me know if you plan to join us.
