Thursday 18th June 2026 - A dull looking morning swiftly ceded to bright sunshine for todays turnout of volunteers who carried out activities on both Richmond Green and Beddington Park.
With the surveyors detachment of the squad carrying out the condition assessments in the tall grass area and the wet meadow at Beddington Park the remaining team back at Richmond Green spent their time weeding out amongst others Docks, Thistles and Green Alkanet that have emerged on the turfed up grassland following the Riverbank works.
Tuesday 16th June 2026 - A new volunteer added to a slightly smaller Tuesday squad working under the sunny skies of Roundshaw Downs today.
As the surveying team carried out the full 20 stops of the grassland condition assessments, one survey each for the North and South cattle paddocks, the rest of the team got to grips with weeding of the two adjacent Butterfly Banks and the adding of some hopefully longer lasting notifications on the paddock gates to the importance of keeping dogs on leads whilst traversing these features that prove a haven for ground nesting birds such as Skylarks.
Thursday 11th June 2026 - A large and headstrong team endured constant drizzling rain at Anton Crescent Wetland for todays taskday.
Dividing the team almost equally, as one half of the squad set about pruning up walkways of protruding branches, clearing the steps of grass tussocks and clearing the haul-road of obstructing Bramble and unwanted Crack Willow the remaining team of surveyors battled against the rain and its effects on their paperwork sheets to get a quarter of the grassland condition assessments done.
Tuesday 9th June 2026 - A couple of showery outbreaks punctuated a near constant sun filled day for todays big team of volunteers as they worked at Carshalton Road Pastures.
As the phase 1 and 20 stops of grassland condition assessments got going over the sizeable site the rest of the squad set about selectively weeding out less desirable plant species, including regrowing remnants of Hawthorne and Blackthorn, from amid the meadow which was a sea of Ox-Eye Daisy!
