Scything and raking at Derwenthorpe Meadow

Friday 25th July 10am-12.30pm

Help us to manage and improve the meadow at Derwenthorpe. Our aim is to improve the value of the area for the benefit of people and wildlife. The activity will involve scything the grass and then raking off the cuttings to stop extra nutrients getting back into the soil. Training in use of the scythes will be given on the day!

The session is suitable for groups of 5-15 people. If your group is bigger than this, please get in touch and we will see what we can do.

If you would like to book a full day then select this session and the one in the afternoon. A member of staff will then be in touch to confirm your booking and discuss details. For more information, contact Maria Gill by emailing maria@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.
