Crane Park (Mill Road) - Meadow management
With Richmond Weekday Projects
About 11.8 miles away from your postcode
At Crane Park (Mill Road Entrance)
Activity description
Our last day of meadow management in Crane Park ahead of the autumn wildflower meadow cut and rake! We will be working in one of the six meadows in Crane Park, working to control dominant and unwanted plant species (brambles and burdock). In this session, we will be working in the Mill Road meadow, accessed from the end of Mill Road or from Lincoln Ave. Some species can fast become dominant/invasive in open meadow spaces. They will often form dense stands in spring and summer, which shades out wildflower and grass species. Removal is often done in spring and early summer, before seed heads are able to form, to contain the growth/spread of the plant. Dependent on species, we will be utilising a mixture of mattocking, digging, and hand pulling removal techniques.
