What: During several CITOs over the summer, we harvested wildflower seeds from The Mound at the Horsbere site, and then prepared the ground here at Cliff's Wood by raking up the cut grass. (Final raking session CITO is on 4th October GC9ZPPA https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9ZPPA).
Today we will be sowing a mixture of the harvested wildflower seeds within Cliff's Wood in order to establish a greater diversity of plant species throughout the area.
How: The Countryside Ranger will be there providing guidance and tools if necessary. Drop by if you have any time to spare and don't worry about not knowing what to do - none of us do, but the ranger will set us straight!
