# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hay Rake at St Mary's Fields, Kidlington
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 24 Aug, 2025 at 09:15 am – Sun, 24 Aug, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Dear Nature Volunteers,

As last summer, we'll be working with the enthusiastic group of locals who maintain this popular conservation area owned by the local parish council and situated between St. Mary's Church and the river Cherwell. 

The job is to rake off the mown material from the yearly grass-cut. This is important to keep the fertility of the soil low and so encourage the rarer plants and wildflowers. It will be hard but straightforward work and important for biodiversity. It's a big site, and a big task, but with plenty of excellent home made cake to keep you going into the afternoon. 

As last year, we'll be using tarpaulins to raft the mown cuttings to the compost dumps. 

No previous experience is necessary.

Booking is not necessary.

WANT TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER LEADER OR DRIVER? 
We're short of task leaders at the moment and we can't carry on without them. 

Some of our tasks are much easier to lead than others, so if you're a regular volunteer please consider stepping up to do a bit of leading. Any of the task leaders will be happy to let you shadow them until you're confident you know the ropes.  If you are interested, please get in touch - we need more leaders.
