Stroud Valley Project events along our brook

Here's some dates that might interest locals - come and find out more....

SATURDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER, 10am – 1pm:
HABITAT WORKSHOP AT HAMWELL LEAZE, CAINSCROSS
Come and join other volunteers from the community in making further improvements to the habitats of Hamwell Leaze. We will be clearing rubbish out of the willow copse and hand cutting the wildflower meadow. The cuttings will replenish the grass in the recently built grass snake maternity hotel. We will also sow yellow rattle seeds (semi-parasitic species which suppresses the grass growth – which in turn helps wildflowers to flourish), and plant wildflower bulbs to increase the biodiversity of the site.
Meet: at Hamwell Leaze, by the oak tree. Directions: turn right from Cashes Green Road into Hyett Road. At the end of Hyett Road turn right into Walter Preston Court. Hamwell Leaze is at the end of the cul-de-sac.
