| Events which are connected with Great Groves and other local woodlands will be published here. We give talks illustrated by slides to various organisations including Natural History societies, church groups and gardening groups. There is no charge but we accept donations on behalf of conservation societies.
The following is a list of work party events which have been arranged by the Countryside Management Service. They all start at 10am and end at about 3pm. Sunday 15th December 2002 Xmas Social Meet at Broxbourne West car-park. The day will be a mixture of work, fun and food. The work in the habitat glades will be continued during the morning and we will have a BBQ in the afternoon. Sunday 12th January 2003 Pond management in Bencroft Wood Meet Emanuel Pollards car-park. The pond needs scrub and vegetation removing from its edge to allow more light into it to attract wildlife. Trees will also be removed from the car-park frontage to improve visibility. Sunday 26th January 2003 Hornbeam coppicing Meet at Bencroft Wood West car-park. The coppicing work continues, building on from December's task. Sunday 9th February 2003 Pond restoration Meet Emanuel Pollards car-park. A number of ponds have been rediscovered in Wormley Wood, following recent woodland management work. The task will involve clearing trees and vegetation from around them to improve light conditions and make them more attractive for wildlife.
