(SHORT SESSION) Crane Park (Mill Road) - Meadow management
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Crane Park (Mill Road Entrance)
Activity description
PLEASE NOTE: This is a short session due to expected high temperatures and will run from 10am - 12.30pm. We will stop for a short tea break at 11am. WE RECOMMEND BRINGING: A sun hat and ~1 litre of water. Sunscreen and water refills will be available. We will be revisiting some meadows in Crane Park to continue our control of dominant and unwanted plant species (creeping thistle, burdock, dense stands of nettles). In this session, we will be working in the Mill Road meadow, accessed from the end of Mill Road or from Lincoln Ave. We may move to Willow Way meadow in the afternoon. Some species can fast become dominant/invasive in open meadow spaces. They will often form dense stands in spring and summer, which shades out wildflower and grass species. Removal is often done in spring and early summer, before seed heads are able to form, to contain the growth/spread of the plant. Dependent on species, we will be utilising a mixture of mattocking, digging, and hand pulling removal techniques. The meadow site we will be working in this session is reasonably exposed so please bring a hat and water bottle and wear clothing that will keep you protected from the sun. We do recommend wearing long-sleeved shirts/trousers as we will be working around stinging nettles.

Pulling Ragwort at Gosbecks Archaeological Park
With North Essex Biodiversity Action Team (Midweek)
At Gosbecks Archaeological Park
Activity description
The fields at Gosbecks are cut for hay in midsummer. It is important to remove Ragwort before the cut as it is harmful for horses and cattle. Removing Ragwort by hand means that all the other plant life can be left to thrive. The weather forecast for this event is currently hot and sunny. It is recommended that you bring plenty of water, wear a hat and apply sun block.
