Twickenham Rifle & Pistol Club - Grassland management
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Twickenham Rifle & Pistol Club
Activity description
TCV will be working to sensitively scythe and remove hay from the grassland, as well as cut and dig out encroaching bramble. The outdoor rifle range is no longer in use, and has developed into an ecologically rich mosaic of tussocky grassland, scrub and crumbling brickwork. There are many anthills present within the grassland, and bramble scrub is also invading the habitat due to little management taking place.

At Brockwell Park
Activity description
We return to Brockwell Park to continue to undertake some very much needed vegetation clearance works from around the third main pond. We will be removing the small self set trees and cutting back the excessive sedge growth, and clearing the bramble which has overtaken whole swathes of the pond edge, blocking the view of the pond from the surrounding paths.

You can just turn up on a Wednesday and don't need to book ahead but, the first time you volunteer, we will ask you to fill out a TCV Volunteer Welfare Form (or we can email this to you in advance if you prefer). You will be working as part of a volunteer team with the park wardens, carrying out tasks such as pond clearing, reed cutting, meadow cutting, coppicing (cutting smaller tree stems), digging and weeding.
