Community Ragwort pulling days
Join us to help carefully manage ragwort around Rhosili and Pennard this summer.
Ragwort is a great plant for pollinators - but needs to be controlled when growing in hay meadows used for making animal feed. Join our ranger team to help remove it.
We follow the Government’s (Defra) code of practice on ragwort control at places in our care: clearing it when it’s within 50m of fields used for grazing by horses and other animals or on land used for fodder production such as hay or silage. Where there are risks, we’ll remove it using mechanical or manual means as we are doing at Rhosili and Pennard. Otherwise, we leave it as an important food source that helps sustain biodiversity by providing food for hundreds of different insect species.
Please note:
- For the Rhosili day - meet at 9:30 in the Rhosili NT car park.
For the Pennard day - meet at 9:30 in the NT Southgate car park. - If you have thick gardening gloves - please bring them. Also advisable: long sleeves and trousers, sun cream, a hat, a raincoat and refreshments.
- The terrain is uneven and we shall be working near a cliff top. Parts of the sites are not very accessible.
- Children are welcome if carefully supervised.
