Wellhouse Scything Evening

As members of the South Cambs Scything Workgroup, we are hosting scythers from our village and around the county at the Wellhouse Meadow to help us manage the orchard area and the land opposite, which we have seeded with wildflowers. This is an evening event to avoid the heat of the day. Scythers and rakers are welcome - no experience required for raking. Please keep dogs away from scythers if you stop by to see us!
