Pulling Ragwort At Oxendean

Sunday 28th September 2025

A message for members of Sustainable Warminster:

Good morning, Sustainable Warminster members,

We’re heading to Oxendean (BA12 0DZ) on 1 October, 13:30-15:00, for a ragwort pulling session in the paddock. The weather is looking promising for a lovely day outdoors. By helping clear ragwort from the paddock, we can make a real difference for local wildlife. This hands-on session supports Warminster Plan Bee, creating healthier habitats and vital stepping stones for pollinators to thrive. Come enjoy the fresh air, meet like-minded volunteers, and lend a hand for biodiversity.

No experience needed – just enthusiasm. If you would like to volunteer, please email Iain via PlanB@sustainablewarminster.co.uk or just turn up on the day. 

To keep safe and comfortable during our ragwort pulling session, please come prepared with:

  • Sturdy footwear, such as walking boots or tough trainers with a good grip. No sandals or open-toed shoes.
  • Suitable clothing to protect against foliage scratches, nettles, and sun exposure, etc.
  • Gardening gloves
  • Weather-appropriate layers. Bring a waterproof jacket if rain is forecast, or a sunhat and sunscreen if the weather is sunny.
  • A water bottle to keep hydrated.

Best wishes,
Rebecca and Amy,
Co-Chairs, Sustainable Warminster.
