    Little Park - Water vole habitat creation

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Little Park -River Crane

    Activity description

    We will be working in Little Park to re-naturalise a section of Mill Stream and improve the habitat for the endangered water vole. The 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. 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 western bank of the stream by removing overhanging branches, smaller trees and scrubby patches. We will provide waders and gloves. If you are of a smaller foot size, 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 collecting and moving green waste and litter around the site.
