Stanmore Country Park work party

Harrow,ha7 4xw

23 Nov 2008

00:00

The management consists of working to retain the open grassy areas and to try and expand them. In the winter months groups of volunteers from the British Trust of Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) are booked to carry out this work together with the weekly visits of the volunteer warden. This is done to enhance the biodiversity of this site. Surveys of some of the taxa are being undertaken; mainly butterflies and moths, mammals, ground beetles and fungi. We would welcome any help in any of these activities. .

We have 26 active litter pickers each one of whom takes responsibility for a stretch of road or an area of green space. We meet occasionally to review tactics and to swop ideas. We have a massive litter pick once a year to shift an area of accumulated rubbish. We have good relations with the Parish Council and the local authority who are great at clearing flytipping when we inform them.
