Whinney Hill – Butterfly Glade Scything and Bulb Planting
Tuesday, September 16 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join Hyndburn’s Woodlands Officer Brandon for weekly practical conservation sessions.
This week we will be back at Whinney Hill woodland carrying out more meadow maintenance. This time we will be at the Butterfly Glade located at the top of the site. Tasks include scything the glade and removing the arisings via raking. If we have time we will also try to extend the glade.
Secondary tasks include planting woodland wildflower bulbs into the freshly cut meadow, these will hopefully take and add more diversity to the glade come next Spring.
We will be meeting at the Livingstone Road entrance to the site, BB5 5BS (Just next to the Livingstone Road Allotments).
Please note steel-toe capped boots are mandatory for those wishing to operate the scythe. Those who do not have any during the session can still assist via raking arisings.
