    Crane Park (A316 & Hospital Bridge meadows) - Spring hay cut and rake

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance

    Activity description

    We will be working in collaboration with the horses from Oakwood Clydesdales to cut and rake the meadows in Crane Park. We will be starting the day in the A316 meadow, before moving across the road to the Hospital Bridge Road meadow. The meadows are managed for biodiversity by LBRuT. The hay cut and rake is an important step in meadow management as it helps to maintain low soil fertility, suppresses vigorous grass growth, and helps spread wildflowers.
