Thursday 7th May 2026 - For the third Thursday in a row a slightly smaller team worked at Beddington Park concentrating their efforts on the London Road meadow.

With a seemingly permanent band of dark grey cloud overhead the squad got to work selectively mowing the meadow to preserve desired species coming through in abundance whilst tackling areas of grassland and scrub edges festooned with self seeded Poplar and obligatory Bramble.

Tuesday 5th May 2026 - With a rounded team of volunteers out activities could cover three sites, Queen Mary's Park, Wellfield North and Corrigan Rec.

Gathering the whole team at Q.M.P, the surrounding grass of the Butterfly Bank received a brushcutting to encourage species migration from the bank to the wider area whilst the remaining team worked on the adjacent scrub islands to combat Bramble spread, weeded out the more prolific botanicals coming through and popped out self seeded saplings from the edges of the nature areas grassland.

Briefly moving as a whole collective to Wellfield until lunch the team then divided, those staying pushing their way along the Northern boundary clearing a dense barricade of Bramble and Nettles to get the buffer strip clear again. The other half of the squad were soon travelling to Corrigan Rec where two more Butterfly Banks awaited them for more surrounding grass cutting, undesirable weeding and marker post installations.

Thursday 30th April 2026 - The Sun was beaming down with full force as the large team of volunteers set about work in another of sector of Beddington Park.

Working in the fenced off area of Wet grassland, grabbing shade where possible the team set about pushing back a margin of Bramble from its encroachment onto the grassland as well as brushcutting a number of smaller areas of rank grass to encourage the emergence of more diminutive species.

Tuesday 28th April 2026 - It was a dull and windy beginning to the day that matured to a sunny finish for todays gathering of a team getting to grips with more activities on the sprawling Roundshaw Downs.

Deciding to concentrate efforts on the North-Eastern fringes of the site (being one of the lesser worked areas), the squad spent the day widening approaches for the contractors to get thorough access when the Autumnal full meadow cuts begin (by popping emergent Blackthorn and trimming fallen Tree limbs), shaving off Bramble edges, weeding rosettes of Ragwort and other undesirable species from the grassland and hay-cutting select parcels of land.
