With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team

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!

We return to Archbishop's Park, this time round to excavate and install the foundations for the plinth of the 'boy with dog' statue that is to be unveiled in the park next month. There are water pipes and tree roots nearby, so we will be carefully excavating the area with hand tools, then lining the area, edging it with small pavers and pouring concrete to create a solid foundation for the 2 tonne bronze statue.
