Brookside Volunteers Enjoy Scything Masterclass

This week the Thursday gang enjoyed a scything master class lead by expert Steve Tomlin. Scything is an ancient art that is still used today as a zero-carbon way to cut sensitive wildflower meadow areas. Under Steve's watchful eye, the gang learned how to set up their sycthe, sharpen the blade, and get cracking on the wildflower meadow. By cutting back the rough grasses, we encourage native wildflowers to grow!
