Grass cutting and raking
With Network Rail
About 41.6 miles away from your postcode
At Great Stukeley Sssi
Activity description
This huge site is a SSSI and of value for its particular ecology. It needs careful management to stop it covering over in scrub and bramble, and to encourage the correct conditions for wildflowers and grasses. As part of this we will be strimming off the dense, tough grass cover to lower soil nutrients and allow the slower growing grasses and plants to flourish.
