Please book on with the Booking Co-ordinator unless shown otherwise.

Each site has a link for more details about our work there. We are likely to have a bonfire at most tasks during the winter months. Please don't wear a good fleece as it will end up full of holes. See Essentials for more details.
Tasks may be on a Saturday or Sunday, or both, starting at 10am, and generally finishing by about 3.30pm to 4pm.

Booking on

Please try to book on, preferably by email, by the previous Thursday evening, as this helps us to run tasks efficiently. If necessary call the Booking Co-ordinator on 07895 269063, stating dates of the tasks and leave your name and phone number.

Tasks sometimes change or are cancelled at short notice, so please check on the details when you book on. You can turn up without booking on, but it's a bit risky. If you would like more information, please call one of our regional contacts on the Home Page.

How to find us

Directions are now being included with the programme above. Click on the flag for a link to an Ordnance Survey map. The meeting place should be at the pointy end of the yellow HCV flag.
OS Grid References shown above have two letters (usually SU for a place in Hampshire) and six numbers. You can use this in Streetmap or Ordnance Survey's Get-a-map by copying the grid reference into the search box. Streetmap is also useful for getting the nearest postcode by clicking on its coordinate converter. Note that Bing Maps doesn't handle grid references.

Post codes are not a good means of navigation!

In most cases it is possible to give a postcode for use with a satnav, but experience shows that you will probably need to engage brain, read the instructions and look at a map as well! A postcode in italics is the nearest one found, and should be regarded as a rough guide only. Post codes were introduced to help with the automation of sorting mail. They were never intended to be a means of navigation to a car park in the New Forest.

Look out for our yellow signs. The actual work site is hardly ever at the meeting place, so try not to be late!
