Kew Pond - Reed management
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Kew Pond
Activity description
We will be working in Kew Pond to manage reed growth to maintain open water and ensure reeds don't dominate the habitat. We will also provide s bit of TLC to the alder buckthorn we planted on the island earlier this year. The common reed grows to form large reedbeds which act as important habitat for many bird species (e.g. reed warbler). In ponds, and smaller waterways, reedbeds can start to dominate the habitat reducing the amount of open water available for waterfowl to use. Reedbeds are often managed yearly, with removal of small sections of reeds each year. We will provide waders and pond gloves. Please note our smallest waders are a size 7, if you have smaller feet please bring an extra thick pair of socks. We will have one or two non-water tasks for those not wanting to get in the pond.

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!
