The Conservation Volunteers - Willow Way Meadow Management

We will be working across the six meadows in Crane Park, working to control dominant and unwanted plant species (brambles and burdock). In this session, we will be working in Willow Way & the triangle meadow, located directly south of the Lincoln Sports Pitches.

Some species can fast become dominant/invasive in open meadow spaces. They will often form dense stands in spring and summer, which shades out wildflower and grass species. Removal is often done in spring and early summer, before seed heads are able to form, to contain the growth/spread of the plant.

Dependent on species, we will be utilising a mixture of mattocking, digging, and hand pulling removal techniques.

We meet in the entrance to Willow Meadow, accessed off Hospital Bridge Road, at 10am.
