Reedbed Management in Dulwich Park Lake, SE21 7BQ
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
At Dulwich Park
Activity description
We are very pleased to be returning to Dulwich Park after many years, to help the 'Friends of' group with the management of the reedbeds around the perimeter of the park lake. The reeds haven't been cut for quite a few years so the reed beds are now very large, so we will be reducing the reedbed cover by 25% in the soutneastern corner of the lake. We will be cutting the reeds at ground / water level, and bagging up all the arisings in bulk sacks for the parks staff to collect.

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.
