Can You Help ?
When – this week – Tuesday 15th, 8-9pm, Thursday 17th, 8-9pm
and/or Sunday 20th 11 am- 1pm
Where – Whitsun Common (part of Ickleford Common where the cows are)
What -Team Ragwort will be pulling out this toxic plant before it goes to seed.
How – We pull the small plants out by hand, or bring a fork and dig them out.
We always wear gardening gloves. Then we’ll wheelbarrow the ragwort plants to the gate.
Why – If we let the ragwort go to seed it will spread everywhere and there will be no grass for the cattle. Without cattle grazing, the common would soon be bramble and thistle, wild but inaccessible
