  • Work Party at Long Meadow

    Abbey Fields have organised a series of work parties at Long Meadow off Park Lane in Histon. All work parties will have a mix of activities, from light trimming to heavier manual work so there should be something for most.

    We start by the fence at the village end of Long Meadow.

    Please register in advance by emailing sitemanagers@abbeyfields.online . This allows us to let you know if the work party has to be cancelled, and also to ask you, if you can, to bring specific tools to suit the planned tasks.

    Please come dressed for the weather, with stout footwear and gloves. Secateurs will always be handy.
