Good news is that we are still allowed to have volunteers at Standen.

So I have jobs that can be doing safely like creating more wood pasture by clearing and hedge planting.

If anyone would like to join me on Sunday 24th could you let me know by the 15th so I can prime other staff and get the area plotted.

Happy New Year

Hi All

I have been asked to do another work party by those that couldn’t attend the last one.

I have checked with James and Sunday 14 th February is the date that suits us. I don’t exactly know what the task will be but it will be at Standen probably working in the fields.

If you would like to come can you let me know a.s.a.p so I can see if we have enough to make it worthwhile.

Many thanks
