Thanks to the Peak Park Conservation Volunteers team, specifically Dave Cramp for arranging things and Nick Baker for being our host for the day, Jason, Beth, Lucy, and Adam spent a day weilding bow saws, loppers, and pruning saws in Coombs Wood near Stoney Middleton. A large quantity of hazel was coppiced and among all the pieces of felled timber we found enough suitably-sized, and almost-straight, morris sticks.
So… after a few months storage in a well-ventilated dry place, we’ll be able to add some stick dances to our repertoire.
