Hedgerow maintenance in Brockwell Park SE24
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
At Brockwell Park
Activity description
We return to Brockwell Park to undertake a whole series of biodiversity & conservation works across the park this Winter and through into Spring 2027. We start with the seasonally sensitive works, so we will be turning our attention to the mixed native hedgerow we planted and have laid twice now over the last few years - we will now be pruning the hedge while it's dormant so that it keeps it shape, removing any invasive vegetation and 'gapping up' with new trees where needed.

Brazil Mill Woods (south) - Water vole habitat creation
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Brazil Mill Woods - Cygnet Avenue Entrance
Activity description
We will be working in the southern section of Brazil Mill Woods to re-naturalise a section of Mill Stream to improve habitat for the endangered water vole. The project is being managed by the Zoological Society of London in partnership with Wild Future Outdoors, Lampton Greenspace Services, and Hounslow Council. Water vole need well vegetated banks for food and predator avoidance. Overshading is the principle reason for lack of vegetated banks in this stretch of Mill Stream. We will look to reduce the shading over the eastern bank of the stream by removing overhanging branches, smaller trees and scrubby patches. The majority of tasks will be land-based, but there may be some activities within the water. We will provide waders and gloves. If you have smaller feet, I would recommend bringing an extra thick pair of socks as the smallest wader size we have available is a 7. This project is funded by Thames Water's Enhance the River Fund.
