    Crane Park - Winter coppicing

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Crane Park Tower

    Activity description

    We will be coppicing along the River Crane, working to remove small trees growing along the river bank and invasive/dominant species from the woodland. Coppicing along the river allows more light into this environment, promoting the growth of soft vegetation (a food source of the translocated water voles!). The root systems of these coppiced trees continue to grow and bind the soil, reducing soil erosion risk along the river. To coppice, is to fell a tree/sapling at its base (or 'stool') which promotes growth of further shoots. The result is multi-stemmed bushier growth. Coppicing is a traditional form of woodland management, with its use dating back to the Stone Age. Coppicing was originally used to ensure source of firewood and timber. Contemporarily, coppicing is primarily used to improve the health and biodiversity of woodland areas.

    Hedge pruning & fencing at the One OClock Club in Brockwell Park SE24 9BJ

    With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)

    At Brockwell Park

    Activity description

    We return to Brockwell Park to undertake some pruning on the native hedgerow we planted at the front of the O'ne O'Clock Club garden in Brockwell Park. We had intended to lay the hedge, but the Club like the screen the hedge provides their garden, so we will just be pruniing it to 6' (1.8m) in height, and replacing the existing low level fence with a standard post & wire fence in front of the hedge.
