– for specific tasks
Tool and equipment lists designed to help less experienced session leaders decide what they need to take to the work site, and as an aide-memoire for all. It can be difficult to remember everything and annoying if you arrive on site without something needed!
The lists are for general guidance only and are in editable form (as Word .docx files), to allow for personalisation as desired.
1. Cutting back and clearing vegetation, and burning 2. Hedgelaying.tools and equipment 3. Tree planting
Site-related
These statements have been drawn up by the worksite leaders and, where relevant, approved by the respective landowners or trustees. They provide general information about a site and outline the main tasks involved in managing it. Their intention is to make an existing leader reflect on their work, to guide a new or prospective new site leader, and to assist the Programme Organiser by estimating the typical amount of work involved in terms of the average number of volunteer hours worked.
