    Crane Park (Hospital Bridge Meadow) - Meadow management

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance

    Activity description

    We will be working in one of the six meadows in Crane Park, working to control dominant and unwanted plant species (burdock, creeping thistles & nettles). In this session, we will be working in the Hospital Bridge meadow, on the corner of the A316 and Hospital Bridge Road (directly north of Willow Way). Some species can fast become dominant/invasive in open meadow spaces. They will often form dense stands in spring and summer, which shades out wildflower and grass species. Removal is often done in spring and early summer, before seed heads are able to form, to contain the growth/spread of the plant. Dependent on species, we will be utilising a mixture of mattocking, digging, and hand pulling removal techniques.
