Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

So you're taking land thats only used for unwanted activity anyway? How do you propose that this is prevented if it is claimed and regenerated?

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

By the installation of locked gates to prevent vehicluar access and styles, also we find that increased public awareness is the best deterent for this sort of behaviour.

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

ok, well I'll get to see what everythings all about soon enough anyway, and I just had doubts about the Chelmswood estate thing as I couldn't find anything about it.

Can you clarify the name of the hill in Baxenden? I can only find information on Hameldon hill, not Hambledon... am I overlooking something?

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

The hill is named differently on maps from different dates so both name are applicable in this instance.

got to wish blazey the best of luck with her quest into being a
volunteer in slaidburn and i look forward to reading a report on her
activities this im sure will aliviate any doubts in our minds
GOOD LUCK BLAZEY ;)

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

It won't be in Slaidburn - they already OWN Slaidburn

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

The report isn't for a newspaper or anything Beechy, it's for the trust and I doubt it would be of any interest for you unless you were after obtaining the land yourself.

I dont see why people dont want to volunteer to help the countryside. Perhaps more would feel obliged if he had made the roles of litter picking and talking to the public the key focus?

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

Maybe you are actually being gullible ? I don't think I'm on my own when I say I still can't figure out who Chelmswood are, what they do or their purpose in life, and there's nothing in the public domain to tell me otherwise. Questions get answered with as little information as possible. The project that was first generated on here a few weeks ago has already changed name, in fact I haven't a clue which bit of land they are now trying to take control of :confused:

Why do these volunteers have to contact the original poster direct. How about he just puts up the name of the office people can get in touch with ?

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

Would that be vehicluar styles ?

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

No if we lock a gate to prevent cars accessing the land we are required to install a style in order to allow access by foot.

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

A style of what?

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

A style, its either a specialised gate or opening in a fence or wall which allows access by foot but is too small to allow access by car.

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

i think he means a stile.......

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

HaHa Ooops... you might be right. My apolagies I am not the best speller as is quite obvious

Re: Volunteer Rangers
 

Thank you for spoiling my fun. He's a clever lad this Chelmswood. Odds on he's called Kyle, Shane or Wayne or something similar.:D:D
