Little Park - River deflector repair & Himalayan balsam removal
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Little Park -River Crane
Activity description
We will be working in Little Park to repair existing river deflectors, and along the banks and pathways to remove Himalayan balsam. This site is managed for biodiversity by LBRuT. River deflectors are a tool used in the restoration of urbanised rivers, primarily to deflect waterflow to re-meander the waterway (i.e. create curvy rivers). This work creates new habitats for aquatic dwelling species such as the common reed, or water voles! The deflectors we will be working on were installed by CREW. Himalayan balsam is an invasive species that thrives along waterways, creating dense stands in spring and summer, and shades our other marginal or riverside species. Removal is often done in spring, before the seed heads are able to form.
