    Little Park - Wetland bramble removal, dead hedging & planting

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Little Park -River Crane

    Activity description

    We will be working in Little Park to protect the wetland ditches, maintaining water vole habitat for the population released on site. PLEASE NOTE we might need to use this session to complete any riverbank planting left over from the ZSL project taking place on Thursday 16th April. Brambles very quickly take over a site, so it's important we remove any runners starting to grow within and across the wetland ditches. We are also looking to reinforce and extend the dead hedges onsite to reduce disturbance of the wetland area. Water voles need well vegetated banks for food, and predator avoidance. Overshading is the principle reason for lack of vegetated banks in Little Park. The PLANTING PROJECT is being managed by Zoological Society of London on behalf of the Crane Valley Partnership, on land which is owned and managed by Richmond Council. Earlier this year, sections of bank along the Mill Stream were cleared of larger trees and bramble scrub and will now be planted up with native marshland species. Wear clothes you are happy getting muddy in - or bring a spare outer layer for the end of the day. If you have wellies, we do recommend wearing them at this site (a stock will also be available on the day). 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. Land-loving volunteers are also vital for planting along the tops of banks, helping to move and distribute plants around the site, and litter picking. Please come with lots of energy, we will need to get the remainder of the wetland plant plugs in the ground (total planned for the site is 1000 plants!)!
