    Twickenham Rough - Vegetation management

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Twickenham Rough

    Activity description

    We will be working to manage vegetation in the newly cleared glade and will start opening up undergrowth in the adjacent woodland to make way for a future nature walk. Twickenham Rough is a greenspace managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. We will work to remove bramble roots from the new glade to reduce future scrub encroachment. 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, widening a desire line into a pathway suitable for a future woodland nature walk. We will also look to thin out undercanopy growth to improve sightlines to ensure the safety of greenspace users.
