IF you would like an introduction to woodland management on a small scale, or if you would just like a bit of exercise in the open air, there's an event just for you.

Join the East Devon District Council Countryside Rangers at the Knapp Community Nature Reserve on Station Road, Sidmouth, on Saturday 1 November – drop in between 10am and 3pm.

Experts and enthusiasts will be coppicing and thinning to benefit woodland flowers and butterflies.

All you need is a reasonable level of physical fitness.
