Collecting stakes and binders from Kings Wood CR2 8QN (Collection from / return to Brockwell Park)
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
At Kings Wood
Activity description
We are about to start with our seasonal hedge laying work on the western perimeter hedge in Brockwell Park in December, so we need hazel stakes and binders aplenty - so today we will be going to King's Wood in Selsdon to collect some hazel stakes and binders. Our Croydon TCV team have been coppicing the hazel stands in one coup of the woodland, so we will be cutting the hazel to length and tying the stakes and binders in bundles so we can transport them back to Brockwell Park in the afternoon. We will also be undertaking some coppicing of the hazel on site ourselves this week, to keep the work moving along through the winter.
