Ham Woods - Hedgerow maintenance
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Ham Common Woods
Activity description
Earlier this year, TCV planted a hedgerow along the residential edge of Ham Common Woods, off Church Road. We will be working to maintain the hedgerow through weeding, scrub clearance and ground aeration. The species planted include hawthorn, blackthorn, spindle, elder, & hazel. Hedgerows are valuable habitats as they provide a dense and varied scrub for animals to nest and feed within. Hedgerows also provide a long, continuous, green corridor to aid the movement of species across greenspaces.

You can just turn up on a Wednesday and don't need to book ahead but, the first time you volunteer, we will ask you to fill out a TCV Volunteer Welfare Form (or we can email this to you in advance if you prefer). You will be working as part of a volunteer team with the park wardens, carrying out tasks such as pond clearing, reed cutting, meadow cutting, coppicing (cutting smaller tree stems), digging and weeding.
