Work Parties 2026

All are welcome to join our work parties. Do come along for some fresh air, exercise and friendly company, and help us to maintain and improve the environment of our land at Stone Common, Jasper’s Pightle and other open spaces around Blaxhall, for the benefit of wildlife, biodiversity and to enhance public recreational access.

Work this autumn will mainly involve raking cut bracken at Jasper’s Pightle, and at both Jasper’s Pightle and Stone Common clearing bracken from around hedges and paths, mulching hedges, filling gaps in hedges with additional hedging plants, removing redundant wire fencing and cutting up wire for safe recycling.

Work party dates this spring are as follows:

  • Sunday 8 February, 2:00pm — Jasper’s Pightle
  • Sunday 1 March, 2:00pm — Stone Common
  • Sunday 15 March, 2:00pm — Jasper’s Pightle
  • Sunday 29 March, 2:00pm — Stone Common
  • Saturday 4 April – gardening session in St Peter’s churhcyard. Time and details to be confirmed.
  • Sunday 12 April, 2:00pm — Jasper’s Pightle

Whilst every effort is made to ensure safety and the minimisation of risk, volunteers participate in work parties at their own risk. Volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Email Honorary Secretary, Eve Rossor (everossor@gmail.com) in advance for advice on clothing, tools to bring, etc. Hi-vis vests will be provided if working along or near to roads.
