About this session
โ What Are We Doing?
Ealing Rangers would welcome some help improving the biodiversity of Elthorne Park by tackling the unruly burdock. Left unchecked, it can quickly overtake large areas, preventing other plants from thriving. Later in the season, it also produces sticky burrs that cling to dogsโ fur, clothes, and even GoodGymersโ hair! Weโll be chopping, and collecting burdock to help keep balance to the area.
