Grass Strimming and raking
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Great Stukeley Sssi
Activity description
This site is a rare and important grassland habitat so we're helping to manage it for wildlife by keeping nutrient levels low. Strimming the grass off and raking it away from the grassland means nettles and thistles are less likely to thrive, giving more chance for wildflowers to do well.

Wildflower Meadow Cutting & Clearing
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At Rushton Pocket Park
Activity description
We are making a welcome return to this lovely green oasis in the idyllic Northamptonshire village of Rushton. All welcome to help us carry out the annual end of season wildflower meadow cut and clear. All the grassland vegetation will be cut using a traditional pedestrian Sicklebar Mower followed by hand raking to clear away all the arisings to make habitat piles on site. This is best practice to maintain grassland species diversity by keeping the nutrient level low. Rotting cut grass not removed will just add more nutrients to the soil structure thereby reducing the growth of wild flowers.
