Hatherop Park - Scrub management
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Hatherop Park
Activity description
We will be working in Hatherop Park Conservation Area to manage the scrub encroachment on the meadows and pathways. The site is managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. We will look to maintain pathways and push back bramble suckering off meadow edges to maintain the grassland space. Grassland is a priority habitat in this greenspace as grass snakes and slow worms rely on open habitat to bask. Please wear long-sleeves to this event as we will be clearing prickly seedlings (bramble, hawthorn, blackthorn) so let's reduce scratch risk!
