Plant surveys and thistle clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
About 15.1 miles away from your postcode
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!

Grass Strimming and raking
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
About 19.1 miles away from your postcode
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.
