    Plant surveys and thistle clearance

    With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team

    At Sundon National Grid (Chalton)

    Activity description

    We have just started a new long term project at this brilliant little site, to improve biodiversity. As we're in the early stages, our first few months are concentrating on recording what's on site now, and keeping on top of the plant species that would otherwise take over - mainly thistles. So our sessions are a mix of scything, raking, and walking over the site to survey what's there. Something for everyone!
