Help us remove an invasive species around our site called Goats Rue. If left alone, this will take over our wildflower meadow and create a mono-culture. We will be digging up the roots and bagging to take off site. After lunch, we will be running a UKBMS butterfly survey and a National Reptilian survey. Please contact the project officer before the session to sign up.

Boardwalk Construction.
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At Millennium Wood Husbands Bosworth
Activity description
We will focus on constructing a 14m timber boardwalk across a muddy area (during the winter months) of the woodland/site trail. We will be repurposing timber from the site where possible to use in the construction process. This will be a simple construction process that everybody can get involved with and will contrast nicely with the much larger and longer boardwalk constructed here in February/March 2022.
