Christmas Family Coppice
What a better way to work off some of those Christmas excesses and join the conservation team for a day of coppicing on Rutland Water Nature Reserve.
Bring all the family to help carry out traditonal coppicing in an ancient wood. And then there is stew.........the team's festive stews are renowned. Indeed there is great rivalry between the casserolers and imbibers are cross-questioned as to whose is the best!
And all this for free!
