South Oxford Adventure Playground have a small patch of woodland at the edge of their site. It is currently fenced off and inundated with brambles. They would like to be able to take the fence down and allow the kids to access the whole area, but the brambles need to be got under control for that to happen.

In an hour and a half we made great progress on removing brambles; raking. lopping , and piling them up outside the fence line. One more session before we get too far into the spring and the woodland should be a lot safer as a play area.
