Wildflower Meadow Management - Linking Leith
With Biodiversity Action Team
About 4.0 miles away from your postcode
At North Junction Street Park
Activity description
Join TCV’s Edinburgh Biodiversity Action Team to manage and enhance wildflower meadows as part of the Linking Leith Project. These meadows provide vital habitat for pollinators and other wildlife, contributing to a more connected and nature-rich city. Activities include: Scything traditional meadows Seed collection for future sowing Wildflower plug planting Habitat creation for pollinators Locations: North Junction Street, Mill Brae Why it matters: Species-rich grasslands are among the UK’s most threatened habitats. Managing and restoring these areas supports pollinators, improves soil health, and strengthens urban biodiversity corridors. Edinburgh Nature Network Codes: ENN-H1: Enhance and manage species-rich grassland ENN-H2: Create and restore pollinator habitats ENN-C1: Strengthen habitat connectivity in urban greenspaces

Cammo LNR – Woodland Edge Habitat Management
With Biodiversity Action Team
About 3.5 miles away from your postcode
At Cammo Estate
Activity description
Join TCV at Cammo Local Nature Reserve to restore and maintain valuable woodland edge habitat. Historically, this area supported species-rich grassland, but scrub species such as raspberries, rosebay willowherb, and bindweed are now outcompeting native plants and reducing biodiversity. We’ll: Cut back invasive scrub using scythes and brushcutters Manage Rhododendron and prepare cleared areas for native tree planting Create dead hedges and habitat structures from cut material to provide shelter for wildlife Why This Matters Maintaining Woodland Edge Habitat Woodland edges are biodiversity hotspots, offering a transition zone between open grassland and dense woodland. This mosaic supports pollinators, birds, small mammals, and a wide range of plants. Without management, aggressive scrub species dominate, shading out wildflowers and reducing structural diversity. Active intervention helps preserve these rich ecological niches. Why Remove Rhododendron? Rhododendron is an invasive non-native species that forms dense thickets, blocks light, and acidifies soil, making it unsuitable for many native plants. It also harbors pathogens like Phytophthora, which threaten other species. Removing Rhododendron is essential to restore natural regeneration and allow native trees and shrubs to thrive.
