Farm volunteer centre shiny

: The yard power washed

: Kitchen blitzed

A couple of rooms in the volunteer centre are looking good after the first FCF spring clean project. The upstairs meeting room/kitchen, the covered yard to the side of the volunteer centre and brambles on the opposite side, have had months of dust and debris cleared this past weekend by a FCF working group, who also painted a base coat of emulsion on the walls upstairs.

Enjoy this handiwork in the two pictures – and on your next visit to an event . Special thanks to Dave, Felicity, Julian, Laura, Mike, Pat and Tim who worked hard on the day itself plus Rachel, Diane and Steve who helped set it up. Still more to do of course, but it is a start!

Grazing
The HDC herd of British White cattle are currently grazing Jenny Bare Legs and Great Horsham Hill (Fri 9 June for approx 2 weeks). The herd of llamas, goats and sheep are in enclosed Tip Field (no public access). Please do not feed any of the grazing animals on the site – they are well cared for, fed and watered. They are here to help maintain the farmland habitat.

#sharechesworthfarm: dog walkers are reminded of the Countryside Code: “When you take your dog into the outdoors, always ensure it does not disturb wildlife, farm animals, horses or other people by keeping it under effective control.” More details can be found at Countryside Code

Horse-riders and cyclists please keep to the bridleways. These cross the site E-W or N-S. If you are on a diagonal field path, you are definitely not on the right track.
