Learn scything skills to help improve grassland habitats at a local nature reserve.

The traditional hay meadow management technique will be used to prepare Tolworth Court Farm Moated Manor Nature Reserve for the introduction of cattle in October. The trial is part of a conservation grazing programme which will improve the biodiversity of the site and introduce more wildflowers to the meadow off Kingston Road.

The free sessions, for beginners and those who have already got some experience, will take place at the site on Tuesday September 28, Wednesday September 29 and Thursday September 30 from 10am to 2pm. You can sign up to more than one session. Over 18s only.
