Review of Firewood from Hedgerows Work Party 4

 to

Hedgerow near Sherwood House, Newton St Cyres, Devon, EX5 5BT GoogleMap

Updated 22th October

Weather turned out to be better than expected, only one 20 minute period of rain. Nine people attended and we did a massive amount of scrub clearing in preparation for our next work party on the 28th October.

53 man hours worked = 6.6 project days

Work Scope

Site induction and safety talk.

We will be continuing work on the hedgerow we worked on in February.

Clear scrub from infront of the hedgerow.  Trim the brash - then tie up brash for its removal - sawing up logs. Sorting, processing and removal of poles.  Carrying material to the road.

Extend the area (not working on the hedge bank) - as above but initially the area may need clearance with a slasher - most wood then initially cut with bowsaws and cleared as in previous paragraph.

An opportunity for people to learn how to work with bowsaws and billhooks.
