Plant surveys and thistle clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Sundon National Grid (Chalton)
Activity description
We have just started a new long term project at this brilliant little site, to improve biodiversity. As we're in the early stages, our first few months are concentrating on recording what's on site now, and keeping on top of the plant species that would otherwise take over - mainly thistles. So our sessions are a mix of scything, raking, and walking over the site to survey what's there. Something for everyone!
