Grass cutting at St Cuthbert's field Oborne

St Cuthbert's chancel Oborne nr Sherborne

Today we shall be cutting and raking off the grass in most of this field in order to gradually enhance the floweriness of the area  – we hope after two unavoidable postponements! (part of it is being allowed to grow long as an area for voles and other wildlife to thrive)

ALL WELCOME!   It is a very lovely little site.

Sadly the grass is not of a good enough quality to make hay with – especially this year when it is more like straw! So we shall be raking it off and dumping it a pile on the edge where the grass snakes and slow-worms will appreciate it.

Earlier we cut off the hogweed seedheads in an attempt to stop it spreading.

Meet round the back of the field for a 9am start – come and find us if you arrive later. Bring lunch and gloves and wear tickproof clothing.
