Twickenham Rough - Glade creation
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Twickenham Rough
Activity description
We will be working to finish the removal of bramble roots and creeping ivy in the new glade adjacent to the woodland, and will look to finish the day by seeding both new glade sites. Other tasks include continuing work opening up the undergrowth in the woodland to make way for a future nature walk. Twickenham Rough is a greenspace managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. The new glades will provide habitat diversity in this greenspace, and will be a hotspot for pollinators and people alike. Our work in the woodland will involve removing dominant species and thinning out under-canopy growth to improve sightlines to ensure the safety of greenspace users. Brittany is away on leave, this session will be covered by her lovely colleague Laurie.
