    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.
