Hedge pruning & fencing at the One OClock Club in Brockwell Park SE24 9BJ
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
At Brockwell Park
Activity description
We return to Brockwell Park to undertake some pruning on the native hedgerow we planted at the front of the O'ne O'Clock Club garden in Brockwell Park. We had intended to lay the hedge, but the Club like the screen the hedge provides their garden, so we will just be pruniing it to 6' (1.8m) in height, and replacing the existing low level fence with a standard post & wire fence in front of the hedge.

Grass Strimming and raking
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Great Stukeley Sssi
Activity description
This site is a rare and important grassland habitat so we're helping to manage it for wildlife by keeping nutrient levels low. Strimming the grass off and raking it away from the grassland means nettles and thistles are less likely to thrive, giving more chance for wildflowers to do well.
