Crane Park - Water vole habitat creation
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance
Activity description
We will be working along the edge of the River Crane (off Hospital Bridge Road) to remove bramble, reinstate a ditch system and create a bund as habitat for water voles. For those not keen to get messy, we will also be clearing the path side wetland scrapes of bramble. This project is in partnership with FORCE and LBRuT. Creating a ditch and bund along the river will provide new habitat for the water vole, who create burrows in river banks. The ditch system will also create a floodplain for river water to expand into during periods of high rain fall. 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.

Hedge pruning & fencing at the One OClock Club in Brockwell Park SE24 9BJ
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
At Brockwell Park
Activity description
We return to Brockwell Park to undertake some pruning on the native hedgerow we planted at the front of the O'ne O'Clock Club garden in Brockwell Park. We had intended to lay the hedge, but the Club like the screen the hedge provides their garden, so we will just be pruniing it to 6' (1.8m) in height, and replacing the existing low level fence with a standard post & wire fence in front of the hedge.
