Winter vegetation management along site ditches.
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At Everards Meadows
Activity description
We will focus on clearing all dead, encroaching/excess vegetation growth from the site ditches and along the margins where it is safe to do so. Where the site flood meadows are under water we will hopefully be able to locate safer areas of work, if not we may have to reschedule the work. It might be a good idea to bring wellingtons.

Crane Park - Kingfisher nesting bank creation
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Crane Park Tower
Activity description
We will be working with Friends of the River Crane Environment (FORCE) to build a kingfisher bank at a secret location in the park. The nesting bank is being created to replicate a natural nesting habitat, which will encourage breeding pairs to use the site. Tasks include: - Construction of the bank box - Digging out and levelling ground foundation - Collection and sieving of soil - Litter picking NOTE: The kingfisher bank work area requires volunteers to cross a shallow waterway using stabilised planks of scaffolding, or cross the waterway in chest waders. Alternative tasks will be found for volunteers who do not wish to do this.
