We will be carrying out some pre-season grassland preparation work, removing ragwort and thistle in readiness for the annual hay cut starting in August. This is a rewarding project for volunteers who are well looked after on this Anglian Water site, a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Rutland countryside.

There will be a 9.30am minibus pick up for volunteers from the Victoria Park Car Park, Granville Rd LE1 7RY. Volunteers wait in the area close to the stone lodge buildings just up from the toilet block. Please reserve your seat on the minibus beforehand by contacting the project lead on either c.forty@tcv.org.uk or 07764 655482 thank you. Alternatively please meet with us at our Evington office LE5 6DE for 9am if this easier. Free safe parking is available at the Evington Park Car Park just opposite the library.
