Duke of Northumberland's River (Isleworth) - River clean up
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Duke Of Northumberland's River - Octavia Rd
Activity description
We will spend 2 days clearing rubbish from the Duke of Northumberland's River in Isleworth. This work will be in preparation for planting works occurring early next year. We are working in collaboration with the London Borough of Hounslow to maintain this blue space Pollution is an ever present threat in UK waterways. By removing physical pollutants, we are helping to reduce the amount of rubbish making its way out to sea and creating safer habitat for native animals (e.g. freshwater fish & aquatic birds). We will need people that are confident to work with waders in the water, as well a people staying on the bank to deal with the bags of rubbish collected or helping to pull out bigger items. There will also be plenty of rubbish to collect along the margins of the footpath in flat and easy terrain. We have a selection of waders available, but most of them are bigger sizes (7 and upwards). So if you are like me and you have smaller feet, you will need a few extra socks to work in these waders.
