Your work today will add variety to this scarce habitat to encourage biodiversity including wildflowers, bees, lichens and butterflies. Tasks will include: sawing, lopping, pruning, moving cuttings to the collection point, using a mattock or fork to dig out invasive saplings, creating scalloped areas in the brambles/gorse and litter picking. Something for everyone!

Gardening gloves/tools are provided but if you have your own that would be helpful. Please bring suitable warm clothing you don't mind using for this kind of work, sturdy footwear and any equipment you would like to bring (make sure you have marked it with your name or another way to recognise it). It should be a fun event with lovely people.

Meeting time and place

Saturday 14th March at Hyde Vale, Blackheath from 10am-1pm including a break at 11.30 for biscuits! Meet approximately where Cade Road meets General Wolfe Road. This is just west of the Greenwich Park wall and in sight of Ranger's House). You don't have to stay for the full 3 hours, just drop in and stay for however long you can.

This work is in conjunction with Friends of Westcombe Woodlands and Royal Borough of Greenwich Council, with help from members of Butterfly Conservation Kent branch.

I won't be there on the day but your contact will be Joe, so feel free to call him if you are lost! Joe Beale (07981029379).
