Kew Pond - Reed management
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Kew Pond
Activity description
We will be working in Kew Pond to manage reed growth to maintain open water and ensure reeds don't dominate the habitat. We will also be planting an alder buckthorn on the island to replace the recently removed dead tree. The common reed grows to form large reedbeds which act as important habitat for many bird species (e.g. reed warbler). In ponds, and smaller waterways, reedbeds can start to dominate the habitat reducing the amount of open water available for waterfowl to use. Reedbeds are often managed yearly, with removal of small sections of reeds each year. 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.
