SUMMARY:Whinney Hill - Pond Meadow Scythe + Seed Collection
DESCRIPTION:Join Hyndburn’s Woodlands Officer Brandon for weekly practical conservation sessions. \n\n\nThis week we will be back at Whinney Hill woodland carrying out meadow maintenance. This time we will be at the pond meadow. This is quite a big job so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Recently\, the locally rare ‘Common Blue’ butterfly has been recorded during a butterfly survey\, so management will be aimed and promoting its health. Tasks include scything large swathes of meadow and deliberately avoiding areas that contain large amounts of Trefoil species (The food and host plant of the Common Blue). Once the scything has been completed\, arisings will be removed from the area to promote wildflower growth. \n\nThis will be followed by a Trefoil sp seed collection and sowing. \n\nWe will be meeting at the Livingstone Road entrance to the site\, BB5 5BS (Just next to the Livingstone Road Allotments). \nPlease 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. \n\n\nTo find out more or confirm your attendance\, please contact Brandon at brandon.cherry@prospectsfoundation.org.uk or 07733 840842 \n\nWhinney Hill – Pond Meadow Scythe + Seed Collection
