    Mereway Nature Park - Vegetation management

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Mereway Nature Park

    Activity description

    We will be working to manage vegetation in the newly cleared glades and pathways. Mereway Nature Park is a greenspace managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. We will work to remove bramble roots from the new glade/paths 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. This site is always rife with rubbish, so there will be plenty of opportunity to litter pick.
