Work Party Volunteers -Wanted
Worcester ramblers, as with many other walking groups, have a team of volunteers that help maintain public rights of way. The Worcestershire County Council Countryside Services, rely heavily on volunteers to undertake this essential work and I coordinate such a group within Worcester ramblers. The type of work we do would include: vegetative clearance and pruning, removing and repairing stiles, installing kissing gates, steps, ditch crossings and footbridges. All tools and materials are provided by the rights of way team at the Countryside Services, Worcestershire County Council.
We meet their supervisor at a predetermined site and work from about 10am for a couple of hours or so, always bringing a packed lunch. We normally meet on the first Monday of every month but stick to relatively local venues within the Severn and Teme valleys. So if you like working outdoors and doing this very important work for the community, then please contact me, Stephen Williams, work party coordinator, on 07940 031 335. You don’t have to be a rambler or even passionate about walking.
Don’t forget to report any issues regarding rights of way, via the Countryside Services at Worcestershire County Council. It’s easy and intuitive. Photos always help too.
