    Crane Park (Ellerman Avenue) - River bank planting

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Crane Park Tower

    Activity description

    We will spend a day planting a newly cleared river bank, located in Crane Park (in proximity to the Ellerman Ave entrance). We are working in collaboration with the London Borough of Richmond to maintain this blue spaces. The riverbank planting is part of a larger project, along the River Crane, looking to improve the habitat for water voles. We will be planting a variety of species, including structural species and those preferred by water voles as a food source. Water voles were released along the River Crane in 2024, with further releases in the works. We will be wearing chest-high waders for this work, as we need to cross the river. We have a selection available, but most of them are bigger sizes (7 and upwards). So if you have smaller feet, please bring an extra pair of thick socks. Land-lubbing tasks will include litter picking and completing a short riverbank dead hedge.

After this we will be turning our attentions to the slope in front of the Lido, where we will be slashing down & removing all of the considerable bramble growth on the site, and cutting down the new growth of the unwanted sea buckthorn to ground level. We will also be drilling lots of large holes through the remaining trunks of the buckthorn to encourage them to rot in situ....and provide a habitat for any local amphibians at the same time.
