    Crane Park - Winter coppicing & ditch digging

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance

    Activity description

    We will be coppicing along the River Crane, working to remove small trees growing along the river bank and invasive/dominant species from the woodland. Those wanting to get messy, we will also be continuing to create a ditch along the edge of the river at Hospital Bridge Road. Creating a ditch and bund along the river will provide new habitat for the water vole, who create burrows in river banks. The ditch system will also create a floodplain for river water to expand into during periods of high rain fall. Coppicing along the river allows more light into this environment, promoting the growth of soft vegetation (a food source of the translocated water voles!). The root systems of these coppiced trees continue to grow and bind the soil, reducing soil erosion risk along the river. We have a selection of waders available, but most of them are bigger sizes (7 and upwards). So if you are like me and you have smaller feet, you will need a few extra socks to work in these waders.
