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.

We return to Archbishop's Park, this time round to excavate and install the foundations for the plinth of the 'boy with dog' statue that is to be unveiled in the park next month. There are water pipes and tree roots nearby, so we will be carefully excavating the area with hand tools, then lining the area, edging it with small pavers and pouring concrete to create a solid foundation for the 2 tonne bronze statue.
