9 people attended the work party which was led by Rob and Dave. It was a very productive day with 10 wheelbarrow loads of logs and kindling produced, all the brash produced from the demo event processed into kindling and a large area cleared ready for the next session. A total of 39 manhours (5 project days) was worked.

Work Scope

Site induction and safety talk.

Clear existing material from demo area -  This will involve mostly billhooks to 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.
