Scrub removal at Oxford Island.  Meet at reception at 10.30am.  We are going to be removing willow from a species rich meadow - the willow has to be removed as it is taking over the meadow and reducing its biodiversity value.  This will involve working with saws and hand tools to cut the willow and remove it from the site.   Wear wellies and suitable outdoor clothing.
