12th January | Poyle Poplars, Horton |
---|---|
This is a new site for us although some of you may remember working at the Arthur Jacob Reserve next door many years ago. Poyle Poplars is a Local Nature Reserve and was purchased by the Royal Borough in 2009. We will be coppicing in some of the 6 hectares of woodland.
Poyle Poplars is on Stanwell Road, Horton. There is a car park here and Ranger Tom Hall will unlock the barrier. Postcode: SL3 9PG, OS: TQ029757, What3Words: chain.expert.stews. |

Sunday 26th January | |
Yes, this is a two day event although you don’t have to come on both days.
Did you help to plant the hedge next to the Thames Path at Battlemead in 2019? This year we are going to start to lay it, beginning at the southerly (Maidenhead) end. We harvested stakes from Ockwells Parks for this purpose in December. We should be joined by members of Wild Maidenhead and Wild Cookham. Park at Sheephouse Road Map postcode SL6 8HY What3Words fine.couches.tower, carefully cross the Lower Cookham Road and follow the path to the Thames. The Causeway will be open so you will be able to walk directly east from the entrance on the Lower Cookham Road to the river. We will be working here What3Words using.chief.wash. |
