Clearing the grass piles on the Keep field at Hazelbury Bryan

We got on really well last week with the cutting of the grass and wildflower vegetation on the Keep field that we look after in Hazelbury Bryan, and spent two hours on Monday barrowing the piles to the dumping points round the edge. It is important that we remove the cut material from the field to prevent it from suffocating the new growth and making the soil more enriched with nutrients (wildflowers do best in nutrient poor soil).

Today we hope to get the rest of the piles moved off the field – so if you can spare a couple of hours to help we would be very appreciative – and will treat you to a hot drink and cake at the Kings Stag Coffee shop afterwards.  Meet on the field at 10am or walk up to find us if you arrive later. We aim to finish by 12.30 at the latest.
