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!

At TCV Tool Shed Grove Gardens Teddington
Activity description
This is one of two half-day sessions focusing on tool maintenance (cleaning, sharpening, oiling) to give them some TLC after the last few busy winter months. For anyone organisationally inclined, I also need to sort through and organise sections of the tool store (bags of old waterproofs, grouping boxes of screws/nails, etc) and tidy up some of the vegetation on site. Please contact Brittany directly to register attendance for this session.

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.
