‘Hay Time at High Hirst’
Sunday 20th – Sunday 27th July 2025
Experienced and/or enthusiastic scythers are keenly invited to help a small, dedicated team of volunteers mow their c.2 acre meadow near Hebden Bridge this summer.
You are very welcome to join them for a day or more on the edge of the delightful West Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge, and assist them in their efforts to restore this ancient hay meadow. They’ll be mowing and haymaking from 9am into the evening each day, weather permitting*, over the week.
If anyone is able to join them for more than one day, the ‘Friends of High Hirst Woodmeadow’ can offer help with overnight accommodation, possibly even in a local home – advance notice would be very much appreciated!
For further details, please contact SABI member Neil Diment, High Hirst Woodmeadow Project, e: neil@ndiment.co.uk or m: 07821 620680.
*N.B. If the weather forecast is poor, it would be advisable to call Neil – or check out the Hay Time post on the ‘High Hirst Woodmeadow Project’ Facebook page – before setting out for the day. We will post there if plans change due to the weather, and we decide NOT to go ahead for that day
