Volunteer Day - Ragwort pulling

Be part of something amazing! 

Meet new people, improve your physical and mental wellbeing, share your skills and learn new ones - all while supporting your local Community Forest. 

Join us for a volunteer day on Thursday 9th July and help us with ragwort pulling at the Grange Estate in Willington, Bedford. We would really appreciate your help!

Some areas of the Grange Estate  are currently in poor condition for grazing and has a fair amount of ragwort which is toxic to horses and cattle. To improve the quality of the grass we need to be able to graze it, and to graze it we need to pull the ragwort. Improving the grassland will benefit the wildflowers, invertebrates, small mammals and birds which use it including both harvest mice and barn owls.
