Our task today was to rake cut grass from a slope near the park entrance. We raked into rows that could be easily collected using a wheelbarrow and then removed from the site.

By doung this we could prevent the hay from rotting down and nourishing the remaining grass underneath. We could then expose and break up patches of earth with the rakes that will allow wildflower seeds to take hold and increase the ecological diversity of the site.

The weather was perfect and the five of us had a good chance to catch up as we joined the rest of the regular working party for our task
