VOLUNTEERS UPDATE

LIME KILNS CONSERVATION PROJECT – TARDEBIGGE NEW WHARF

We now have the outline for our winter season programme for the Tardebigge Site which includes the lime kilns conservation project. In general the work will be cutting back timber growth, reducing vegetation and removing waste soil. We are hoping to level the ground around the kilns so that next year we can use a grass mower rather than trimmers. Days start at 09:30 and finish around 15:00 ish.

We are pleased to confirm that we have made a start on the application for a Lottery grant.
We have now put in the ‘Expression of Interest form’ and will receive a response after the New Year.

The next dates for working at the kilns will be:
January 9 and 10, Sat and Sun.
January 27 and 28, Wed and Thurs.
February 13, 14 and 24.
March 12, 13 and 23.
April 9, 10 and 27.
Tardebigge Depot is at New Wharf, Alcester Road, Tardebigge, Bromsgrove. B60 1NF

We would be pleased to welcome any volunteers who could help.
You can register on the day but if you could email in advance it always helps.

Thank you for all the help you have given us over the past year and for the year to come.
