After the herbicide treatments fully eliminate the exotic grasses, the restoration site is prepared using a root-rake. Root-raking is similar to disking. It's a mechanical treatment that is geared toward removing and chopping up heavier woody debris and thick root mats.
I spotted this apparently abandoned horse-drawn hay rake in a field. It reminded me when I was young in Minnesota and of my grandfather who used one to rake hay after it had dried in the sun.
The 1st Vanway Guides from Prince George, B.C., did a rake and run in the fall for a community service project.
A small pub serving all sorts of wonderful world beers by Borough Market. There was a pub on this site until the early-20th century (probably the same building it looks like), though it was a cafe when converted to the Rake. (View of whole building.)

If I need to break up a largish area of soil but it has leaves on it I clear them off quickly using a lightweight plastic leaf rake before using my 3 tined cultivator to break up the soil.
Here's a link to me using the cultivator. You'll see just how quick and easy it is

The trees were spectacular, but raking leaves was a constant job for about 4 months of the year. When they were really coming down (what's shown here is pretty light), that sweeper would be completely full after less than one pass the width of the yard. Mowing the front lawn was a nice, tidy 20 minute job, but sweeping the leaves could take a couple hours. Photo by Walter Reed
Swansea’s glorious beaches are cleaner and safer than ever before thanks to EU water quality standards.
Volunteers from Swansea for Europe, with the support of surfers, created a giant sand artwork on Swansea beach to mark the EU’s contribution to cleaner beaches in the area.
The event launched a campaign celebrating what Europe has done for Swansea.
Paul Willner, chair of Swansea for Europe, said:
“The beaches of Swansea have never been cleaner and safer – and we have Europe to thank for it. It was European law that made Westminster clean up its act.
Beaches that were polluted with raw sewage twenty years ago now have blue flags.
It’s a perfect example of how being in the EU brings real benefits to Swansea and its people.”
