    Craneford Way Greenspace - Hedgelaying

    With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)

    At Craneford Way Greenspace

    Activity description

    We will be working along the walkway between Craneford Way Greenspace and Mereway Nature Park to continue laying a section of planted hedgerow. This greenspace managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. Hedge laying is a traditional technique used to create living fences or boundaries by cutting and laying hedge tree stems to promote dense vegetation growth. Whilst hedge laying is still used for this reason across the UK, in urban areas it is also utilised to create dense, biodiverse, green corridors and refugia for animals. Alternative activities will be available for those who would prefer not to participate in hedge laying.

    With Leyton Jubilee Park Green Gym

    At Leyton Jubilee Park

    Activity description

    Leyton Jubilee Park is Waltham Forest’s largest park, created atop an old landfill site dating back to the 19th century. Sitting in the Lea catchment, Dagenham Brook runs through the park, offering a riparian connection to the nearby Hackney Marshes. Our work in the park largely surrounds the maintenance of our recently planted woodland, which is still in the early stages of its life, work including tree planting, weeding and mulching. Other work will rejuvenate pathways and provide care for our newly created flower beds. Join us in a park with an exciting range of habitats and species!
