Grass Strimming and raking

An activity with Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team

Activity date: Tuesday 2nd September 2025

Start time: 9:30
Finish time: 17:00

Activity description

This site is a rare and important grassland habitat so we're helping to manage it for wildlife by keeping nutrient levels low. Strimming the grass off and raking it away from the grassland means nettles and thistles are less likely to thrive, giving more chance for wildflowers to do well.

Meeting place

Cemetery Gatehouse, Foster Hill Road, Bedford MK41 7TD

Activity location

Great Stukeley Sssi, Network Rail cutting near Huntingdon., PE28 2LB
