Crane Park (A316 & Hospital Bridge meadows) - Spring hay cut and rake
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance
Activity description
We will be working in collaboration with the horses from Oakwood Clydesdales to cut and rake the meadows in Crane Park. We will be starting the day in the A316 meadow, before moving across the road to the Hospital Bridge Road meadow. The meadows are managed for biodiversity by LBRuT. The hay cut and rake is an important step in meadow management as it helps to maintain low soil fertility, suppresses vigorous grass growth, and helps spread wildflowers.

It's been quite a few years since we last worked in Burgess Park, but now we have been asked to help improve the access through the Albany Road Woodland section of the park, between the ponds and the Albany Rd perimeter. We will be installing timber edging and filling the paths with hardwood chip for greater longevity than standard mulch, and installing small 800mm width oak sleeper steps on the inclines through the woods.

Practical Wetland Habitat Conservation Work
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At South Luffenham - Pond Close
Activity description
Pond Close South Luffenham is an evolving wetland/woodland habitat with rich species diversity. A tranquil site for the benefit of nature and human enjoyment. Our project task will focus primarily on selectively removing excess reed growth from the pond margin. All reed removed will be stacked a short distance away and left for about one week before it is removed from site. There will be some footpath and step weeding to carry out too.
