Monday, 7th October 2024, from 3-5pm

This Monday, 7th October, from 3-5pm, we’ll be gathering at the top of Mountfields (at the bus stop) to rake up the grass clippings. A big thank you to Andrew, our local ranger, who has kindly cut the wildflower bank, leaving patches where the flowers are still in bloom. He’ll return to finish cutting next week.

We’ve allowed time for the seeds to settle, and now it’s time to clear the area. Raking up the clippings helps create the low-nutrient soil that wildflowers thrive in. Don’t worry, though—none of the clippings will go to waste! We’ll be placing them around the walnut trees in rings, which will provide extra nutrients as they decompose, while also preventing grass from competing with the trees.

Everyone welcome to help or just a chat, we look forward to seeing you.
