Every Saturday
Practical Conservation Workdays
11am to 2pm
Come and join a small team of volunteers and help out at the park with some hands-on practical work managing the Park's special habitats. Work includes pond clearing, meadow cutting, coppicing (cutting smaller tree stems) and weeding. You don't need any previous experience and all tools are provided by the wardens. We use traditional hand tools and learn traditional ways to manage habitats, such as meadow and woodland.
We can work to suit your abilities and fitness level and any age can join in, although you must be over 16 (check with your doctor first if you are worried about your fitness level).
Wear old clothes and stout shoes, the wardens will supply work gloves, wellies if needed and tea, coffee, soft drinks and the essential biscuits but please bring along a packed lunch. Just turn up at 10am at the gatehouse on a Wednesday to try one out or contact the wardens - Joanne and Tony - if you need more details or want to come and visit the Park first - 020 8293 1904 or true@btcv.org.uk
It's a great opportunity to get involved in a community nature reserve and help maintain its habitats for wildlife for years to come.
