Future Trail Repair Work

Just had some good news. Some of us regulars have applied to be official “Forest Volunteers” with FE which is something we’ve been working with FE on for a few months now. As from next month we should hopefully be participating in a 6 month trial where one of our Wednesday sessions (per month) will be organised and supervised by FE (with TROG input) and we will be able to actually wield a spade in order to do proper repairs like we used to pre-covid. Once we have received all the training we should be able to carry on doing this independent of FE supervision. We are also working towards rolling this out to include weekends eventually. It’s been a long slog but FE have been really good and proactive at getting us back to work by various means.
