After two summer seasons of baseline data collection, we are now ready to start our Yellow Rattle trial. For this we need to do some preparatory work and sow our rattle seed.
There will be two dedicated work parties at Long Meadow:
· Wednesday 8th October, at 2pm
· Tuesday 14th October, at 2pm.
We may also be doing some bramble clearance near our new avenue trees to ensure that the area around each barrier is fully accessible.
We start by the fence at the village end of Long Meadow.
Please register in advance by emailing sitemanagers@abbeyfields.online. This allows us to let you know if the work party has to be cancelled, and also to ask you, if you can, to bring specific tools to suit the planned tasks.
Please come dressed for the weather, with stout footwear and gloves.
