    Vegetation clearance around Pond No 3 in Brockwell Park SE24 9BJ

    With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)

    At Brockwell Park

    Activity description

    We return to Brockwell Park to continue to undertake some very much needed vegetation clearance works from around the third main pond. We will be removing the small self set trees and cutting back the excessive sedge growth, and clearing the bramble which has overtaken whole swathes of the pond edge, blocking the view of the pond from the surrounding paths. We will also be boating out to the island to manage the trees and shrubs on there too.

    Join our regular Wednesday conservation workdays at the Ecology Park and help the wardens carry out vital management work in the park's different habitats - marsh, meadow, lakes, ponds, shingle beach and woodland. You can just turn up on a Wednesday and don't need to book ahead but, the first time you volunteer, we will ask you to fill out a TCV Volunteer Welfare Form (or we can email this to you in advance if you prefer). You will be working as part of a volunteer team with the park wardens, carrying out tasks such as pond clearing, reed cutting, meadow cutting, coppicing (cutting smaller tree stems), digging and weeding.
