Askham Bar - Urban Corridor Conservation Session: Solar System Greenway

Help us manage green spaces on the Solar System Greenway by carrying out practical tasks. We will be scything to create opportunities for the wildflowers and bulbs found here to populate, including wild garlic, bluebells and snake's head fritillary.

Meet at the start of the cycle track near the park and ride (https://w3w.co/coach.miles.solar), where we will be doing a summer scythe along both sides of the cycle path. Any problems on the day call Beki on 07751970199.

Please read the following risk assessment and follow this guidance during the session:
