Improving Wildflower Areas - Fordlands Road Playing Field

Monday 7th July, 9:30am-12pm

Help us to establish wildflower areas at Fordlands Road Playing Field. We are hoping to improve the wildlife value of the site by introducing more wildflower species, improving overall biodiversity. The activity will involve scything the grass and then raking off the cuttings to stop extra nutrients getting back into the soil.

There are no facilities on site. The session is suitable for groups of 5-12 people. If your group is bigger than this, please get in touch and we will see what we can do.

Book this session for your team by clicking below. A member of staff will then be in touch to confirm your booking and discuss details. For more information, contact Nicola Ward by emailing nicola@stnicks.org.uk.

If there are any health or mobility issues within your group that may affect someone carrying out the task, please get in touch and we will see what we can do to support you as there may be alternative tasks available. However not all tasks and sites are fully accessible.
