Volunteers gathered to remove cow parsley at the Stile Plantation in Royston, which was in danger of becoming overrun.

The Climate and Biodiversity Action Working Party at Royston Town Council formed a group which set out to remove as much as possible, to allow a wider variety of plants to grow.

Johnson Matthey provided a group of eight volunteers, who were joined by Cllr Stephen Lockett and Friends of Therfield Heath committee member Ray Munden.

Shire Trees Ltd provided a skip to remove the extracted cow parsley, which was filled by the volunteers.

Wildflower seed, specially selected for shady areas, was then scattered to improve biodiversity.

Royston Town Council thanked Johnson Matthey, their volunteers and Shire Trees for their support.
