An activity with South Essex Action Team

Start time: 11:00

Activity description

Help us remove an invasive species around our site called Goats Rue. If left alone, this will take over our wildflower meadow and create a mono-culture. We will be digging up the roots and bagging to take off site. After lunch, we will be running a UKBMS butterfly survey and a National Reptilian survey. Please contact the project officer before the session to sign up.
