Broom Road Rec - Biodiversity enhancements
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Broom Road Recreation Ground
Activity description
We will be working in close collaboration with the LBRuT Parks Department and the Ecology & Planning team to create and install biodiversity enhancements onsite over a three day period. Our volunteers will be creating three large stag beetle loggeries (30-50 logs each) and a solitary bee bank habitat. We will also look to install a bee tower made by Richmond College. LBRuT will have a digger onsite for all larger excavation work, and all materials (logs, woodchip, builders sand) will be made available to us onsite. We will certainly be creating some great habitats and feature pieces in the park! Stag beetles are a globally threatened species and their numbers have been declining across UK & Europe, primarily due to the lack of appropriate habitat - dead wood. Stag beetle larvae spend 4-7 years feeding on decaying wood before emerging as adults to breed. The adults do not feed and rely exclusively on the fat reserves stored during feeding by the larval stage. Building loggeries and stumperies provides a much needed habitat and food source to support the stag beetle life cycle.

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.
