About this session
Join us for a rewarding conservation mission with Bee Friendly Warwick
For this session we will be lending a hand to Sara & her team of volunteers removing thistles, strimming & raking the meadow to prepare for sowing wildflower seeds.
This work will help create a beautiful wildflower meadow, providing vital habitat and food for bees, butterflies and other pollinators while improving local biodiversity.

Converting an old allotment into a floodplain meadow for biodiversity
This project is for Bee Friendly Warwick (you've helped us in the past; it's been great!) to create a wildlife meadow on an old allotment we started renting this year. The allotment is not near a power source, or anything really; it's a lovely spot! We need help strimming (we have two battery strimmers), hand-raking what we've strimmed, and bashing an awful lot of Himalayan Balsam. Once the area is strimmed, we should be able to bring in petrol scarifiers to level the soil and sow wildlife seed. There may well be a stage 2 for the project - to sow seed. The site floods A LOT. So it is tricky to do anything between November and February. We'd like to get it strimmed by mid-September. Ready for the next stage. Your help would be very much appreciated.

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
