Forthcoming Events in Basingbourne Park

*!Longdown Heath Volunteer Day – Postponed! Saturday 19th October – 10am

This will involve cutting scrub on the Heath, which is vital to keep the heathland glade open and free of trees. We will also push back the perimeter by using the tree poppers to remove some of the recent birch and pines which have encroached around the edges of this area.

If you are definitely coming it would be helpful if you could let us know, although we won’t turn you away if you find yourself free and want to join on the day. If you’re coming, please wear waterproof boots, gardening gloves and bring saws, loppers, pruning saws etc. if you have them, as we have a limited supply of equipment.

Meet at 10am at the Pavilion or find us on the heathland if you’re joining us later in the morning.
We appreciate any time that you have to spare – even if it is just for the odd hour or so.
