Leyton Jubilee Park Green Gym
With Leyton Jubilee Park Green Gym
At Leyton Jubilee Park
Activity description
Leyton Jubilee Park is Waltham Forest’s largest park, created atop an old landfill site dating back to the 19th century. Sitting in the Lea catchment, Dagenham Brook runs through the park, offering a riparian connection to the nearby Hackney Marshes. Our work in the park largely surrounds the maintenance of our recently planted woodland, which is still in the early stages of its life, work including tree planting, weeding and mulching. Other work will rejuvenate pathways and provide care for our newly created flower beds. Join us in a park with an exciting range of habitats and species!

Woodland understorey vegetation management
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At Kings Walk Spinney
Activity description
Kings Walk spinney has a mature Oak canopy with the understorey comprising of predominantly Damson fruit trees, yew, holly, mixed thorn and sycamore regeneration growth along with snowberry. We will be uprooting self-set ash, sycamore and clearing a good section of the snowberry. The aim is not to let the snowberry colonise the understorey floor and thereby not allowing sunlight to reach the ground level for other beneficial woodland plant. This plant colonizes very quickly without any ongoing management.
