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.

Spring grassland management
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
About 33.5 miles away from your postcode
At Wing Water Treatment Works
Activity description
We will be carrying out a selective spring grass cut in two of the eight grassland parcels which are devoid of wildflowers. All arisings will be hand raked and moved to the field margins where it will compost down. Our other important task will be to uproot thistle, it is important to maintain a clean wildflower/grassland mix where possible especially as this grass will be conditioned into hay for animal feed at the end of summer, therefore the removal of thistle from the grassland parcels is deemed necessary.
