Ham Pond - Vegetation & reed management
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Ham Common Pond
Activity description
We will be working within and around Ham Pond completing vegetation management, including: - Caring for the 160 whips planted in 2025 by canopy lifting larger vegetation, weeding and fixing the temporary fencing. - Completing annual reed bed management, through the push back of reed growth from vistas, digging out excess reed growth encroaching into the pond, and cutting a section of reed bed. - Coppicing the 4 pollarded willow trees on the island (can only be done when water levels allow us to wade across). If you have a body board you'd be happy for us to use to float arisings back off the island - please get in touch!). We will provide waders and gloves. If you are of a smaller foot size, I would recommend bringing an extra thick pair of socks as the smallest wader size we have available is a 7. If these tasks are completed, we will look to move to the adjacent Ham Avenues.
