At Ettington Cutting today raking the roadside banks. It’s quite thin grassland and lots of wildflowers but still hard work carrying the cuttings back up the slope!! #volunteer #conservation @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social

Volunteers carrying up the raked piles to the top of the slope where the compost piles are

The volunteers cutting, raking, picking up litter & seeding the banks by the roadside
