Terrace Fields - Grassland management
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Terrace Fields
Activity description
Join us in volunteering at the scenic Terrace Fields to clear scrub encroachment in the grassland and improve pathway accessibility. This greenspace is managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. We will be clearing brambles and suckering hardwood growth from the grassland slopes to retain open space. We will also complete a site-wide litter pick to remove pollution from this environment. Urban neutral grassland habitats require management throughout the year to ensure they remain open habitat. Grasslands can support a diverse community of wildflowers, grasses and invertebrates. PLEASE NOTE we will largely be working across a grassy slope. Alternative tasks will be found for those requiring flat ground.

End of Season Meadow Cut and Clear

Come and join us at this establishing orchard site where we will be carrying out the end of season annual grassland vegetation cut and clear. This is best practice by helping to keep the nutrient level low and as a consequence maintain and encourage new wild flower species to establish. We may have to carry out some remedial work with the fruit trees, checking stakes and replacing ties where required and last but not least checking on the general health of the trees.
