Pond Clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
About 14.0 miles away from your postcode
At Toddington village pond
Activity description
This is our annual trip to the pond to help keep on top of vegetation growth and prevent the pond filling up with plants entirely. Pulling out some of the reeds by the root helps keep the balance of the pond healthy and ensures there's plenty of open water as well as cover for wildlife. We'll provide the waders, the tools and the tea and biscuits, you just need yourself and some enthusiasm!

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.
