SUMMARY:Freeeman's Wood Volunteer Session
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Freeman’s Wood are holding a volunteer session in the central meadow. We need lots of volunteers as we have two big jobs to do. \n\n\n\n\nView Larger Map\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n1. We need to inspect and weed around the tree saplings we planted in January. These have held up remarkably well through the recent drought conditions but they do now need a bit of extra TLC. If you have work gloves\, please bring them\, but if not we have a stock. \n\n\n\n2. We have been given several hundred wild flower plugs which need to go into the ground quickly. If you can bring a trowel and hand fork that will be useful. \n\n\n\nBoth of these jobs involve working in grassland in which deer roam. There is s risk of catching a tick. We advise volunteers to wear trousers and shirts which cover legs and arms even on a hot day.  \n\n\n\nFull instruction given for both jobs.  \n\n\n\nAny queries or need for directions to the site\, please email info@fairfieldassociation.org or post a comment below. \n\n\n\nMany thanks \n\n\n\nIan Procter

SUMMARY:Wild-flower Planting in Freeman's Wood
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday 23 March from 10.30 to 12.30 we will be aiming to plant wild-flower seeds over the whole of the central\, oval meadow area. We need help to do this – so if you can spare an hour or so\, please come along to the central meadow in the middle of the wood. \n\n\n\n\nView Larger Map\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTen species\n\n\n\nWe have ten species of wild flowers: Yellow Rattle\, Common Knapweed\, Oxeye Daisy\, Ribwort Plantain\, Meadow Buttercup\, Selfheal\, Meadow Crane’s Bill\, Betony\, Ragged Robin and Meadow Vetchling. \n\n\n\nWhat you need\n\n\n\nWe will divide the meadow into nineteen squares\, and the idea is that two or three people will plant up each square. We will need to plant into bare earth. The area has been cut and there is bare earth in a lot of places\, but you will sometimes have to use your boots or strong shoes to create bare earth. You might also consider bringing a spade or small trowel / fork. Full instructions will be given on the day. An empty jam jar would also be useful! \n\n\n\nLet us know\n\n\n\nIf you can\, please let us know on info@freemanswood.org.uk if you are intending to come along\, this can help get a rough idea of numbers so we can plan ahead. Thank you in advance! \n\n\n\n(Yellow Rattle\, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\, via Wikimedia Commons)

There will be children’s trails through the orchard.  To get out and see wildlife we are scheduling half-hour guided walks throughout the day on different themes including birds\, wildflowers\, butterflies\, grasses & lichens\, spiders\, insects and pond dipping. For those who want to learn: practical 10-minute pollinator surveying sessions will be held to show how it’s done – which you can then do in your own garden or anywhere. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also have a table full of information leaflets about many local wildlife groups and what they do. The Fairfield Association will have a refreshments tent with drinks and homemade cakes.  \n\n\n\n\n\nWhere is the Orchard?\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is a couple of minutes’ walk along a public footpath leading from the end of Sunnyside Lane in Lancaster LA1. If you are driving to it\, drive down Ashfield Avenue (near the railway station\, off Westbourne Road) to access Sunnyside Lane.  \n\n\n\nThe Sunnyside Lane entrance immediately off Westbourne Road is rather narrow to drive down. Just walk along the right-hand side of the cottage at the end of Sunnyside Lane and keep going! \n\n\n\n\n\nView Larger Map\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganised by
