(and raking)
There’s another opportunity to try your hand at scything, on Tuesday 6 October, 10.00 am until noon. This workshop will be run by Jonathan from St Nicks, and spaces are limited to six because of current social distancing regulations. If you’ve scythed before and want to refresh your skills, you’re most welcome to come along as well. If you’re not sure about scything, then come along and help do some raking. There’s plenty of room for us all to work safely. All you need is a pair of gardening-type gloves and sturdy footwear. If you want to give it a whirl and help look after our “sheep field”, please email Wendy at naturereserve@derwenthorpe.co.uk as soon as possible, so that we can make sure there’s enough equipment for everyone.
