Cake and Rake Day 5 October

for 1 hour
Geldeston: St Michael & All Angels
Old Yarmouth Road Geldeston Beccles, NR34 0LW, United Kingdom

Rake and Cake day, Geldeston Church NR34 OLW
Saturday 5 October 10.30am onwards
Geldeston churchyard provides a wonderful area for wildlife: full of wildflowers with resident populations of slow worm, lizard, grass snake. It is a special place for both wildlife and people and is included as one of Norfolk Wildlife Trusts’ churchyard conservation scheme. To maintain the wildlife conservation value, the church yard needs to be managed by letting the wildflower grassland flowers and set seeds. Once cut, the grassland needs to be raked off to reduce the build up of nutrients.

You are invited to come along on Saturday morning to help with the raking. Many hands make lightwork!
Please bring your own gardening gloves, a rake and secateurs, or these can be borrowed if you do not have your own
Cake will be provided for the rakers. Its good fun and exercise a green gym !
