On Tuesday 29th October the Hyndburn’s Woodlands Volunteers were hard at work at Jubilee woodland continuing with the meadow management that has been going on for 3 years.
This involves using scythes to cut as much of the grassy material as low to the ground as possible, the cuttings (arisings) are then raked off the meadow area and removed. This reduces the available nutrients in the following years, which reduces the overall height of grass and allows wildflowers to sprout up.
Thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped us on the day, it was definitely hard work but we managed to get it done!
Activity funded by Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund.
