Friends of Kew Bush working bee

15 March 2025

Meet at the picnic table at 10am. Contact [Enable JavaScript to view protected content] for more details.

Wear gumboots / big boots! Bring gloves, secateurs or lopper if you have them.

The aim of the day is to clear the last of the fast invaders ready for a big planting day in the autumn. The map has the key areas we’re targetting:

Blackberry removal (purple on map) - cut-and-paste (could be prickly!)

Releasing the trees planted last autumn (red on map) - Trampling the grass around the planting here would be of great help (can be fun - bring some friends to help!)

Looking forward to seeing you!
