Prestbury Hill Reserve, Bill Smyllie section near Cheltenham

Our conservation work parties are very sociable events (with cake provided as an added incentive!) and you work at your own pace with no pressure. Any time you can spare would be welcomed. 

Meeting place: Meet at main entrance to Bill Smyllie SO993244. what3words hometown.blissful.scrub Please note that satnav using postcode can be inaccurate. 

What to bring: We suggest you bring a warm drink, lunch (or not if you want to leave before), warm, waterproof clothes and stout boots. Please bring your own thornproof gloves and if preferred, your own hand tools (bow saws and loppers), though some branch ones, including sickles, will be available to borrow. 

Site information:  This is an exposed site on the Cotswold scarp slope, so be prepared for steep and uneven ground conditions and windy conditions.

Booking: You don’t need to book a place but we would appreciate it if you could let the work party leader know by phone or email if you plan on attending. This helps us plan the work, the tools we need to take, the quantity of cake needed and we can advise you should the event be cancelled at short notice e.g. in the event of poor weather conditions.
