Join us as we compete in a Sustrans led National volunteer competition to cut and rake as much grass as possible in a day.
Last year the North East won and we would like to hold the title again this year!
Great British Rake Off - Friday 28th September 10am until 2pm
We will be working on NCN1 - a cycling and walking track in Ryhope.
Parking is available on the street next to the meeting point.on Sea View, SR2 0PL.
Full training on using a scythe and a wooden rake will be given.
Once we have cut and raked the grass we will be sowing some wildflower seeds.
We will also be doing a litter pick.
All tools will be provided courtesy of Sustrans.
Please come along dressed for the weather with warm / waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear (ESSENTIAL as we will be using sharp tools!). A pair of gardening gloves would be handy too.
You will need to bring along a packed lunch and a drink for yourself. Tea / coffee and biscuits will be provided.
PLEASE log a will attend if you intend to come along. I need to know how many people to expect so that I have enough tools for everyone.
This event will make a huge difference to the local area and really make the place nicer for people to cycle, walk and geocache in!
I hope to see you there!
