Easter Development Week ~ 29 March - 5 April 2024

During this week, we were joined by several volunteers who helped us with some woodland management and in preparing the workshop area for the forthcoming season of green woodworking courses. The tasks undertaken included:
Bramble clearing and tree-pruning in the young plantation areas.
Re-erecting the lunch shelter.
Repairs to the board-walk.
The making of six new shave horses.
The making of two new work-benches for the workshop area.
A big thank-you from the Sallerton Wood Team to all of you who helped during this week.
