Who this task will support

Kingston Council: Pollinator path

We’re growing the 'Wildway' at Upper Brighton Road! While the roundabout is already being restored into a wildflower meadow, we’ve set our sights on the overgrown scrub near the bus stop (Langley Avenue (Stop SA)). By clearing the encroaching brambles and planting a new pollinator bed, we’re creating a space that’s not only easier to walk past but also more beautiful for neighbors and better for our local bees and butterflies.

By transforming a neglected, overgrown space into a managed pollinator bed, this project will improve public safety by restoring full pavement access for pedestrians through the removal of encroaching brambles. It will also boost community well-being by creating a more attractive, greener streetscape that enhances an otherwise neglected strip of land. The project will also strengthen biodiversity by expanding the wildway corridor, providing vital habitats for pollinators and small insects.

Planned Works

Cutting, clearing, and root removal of brambles
Collection and removal of leaf litter and excess soil
Preparation of the planting bed for spring planting

We will be meeting at the Quaker Centre for 6.30pm and will run 3km to Langley Avenue (Stop SA) bus stop, Surbiton, KT6 6QL. We will get there for approximately 7pm if you need to meet us there. We will be doing a 3km run back after the task ends.
