Craneford Way Greenspace - Hedgelaying
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Craneford Way Greenspace
Activity description
We will be working along the walkway between Craneford Way Greenspace and Mereway Nature Park to being laying a section of planted hedgerow. This greenspace managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. Hedge laying is a traditional technique used to create living fences or boundaries by cutting and laying hedge tree stems to promote dense vegetation growth. Whilst hedge laying is still used for this reason across the UK, in urban areas it is also utilised to create dense, biodiverse, green corridors and refugia for animals. Alternative activities will be available for those who would prefer not to participate in hedge laying.

Leyton Jubilee Park Green Gym
With Leyton Jubilee Park Green Gym
At Leyton Jubilee Park
Activity description
Leyton Jubilee Park is Waltham Forest’s largest park, created atop an old landfill site dating back to the 19th century. Sitting in the Lea catchment, Dagenham Brook runs through the park, offering a riparian connection to the nearby Hackney Marshes. Our work in the park largely surrounds the maintenance of our recently planted woodland, which is still in the early stages of its life, work including tree planting, weeding and mulching. Other work will rejuvenate pathways and provide care for our newly created flower beds. Join us in a park with an exciting range of habitats and species!

Harvest Mouse survey at Park Lane NR
With North Essex Biodiversity Action Team (Midweek)
At Park Lane Nature Reserve (Tiptree Parish Field)
Activity description
On the Red List for Britain’s Mammals, the Harvest Mouse is classified as Near Threatened in Britain. This means that they are at risk of becoming threatened with extinction in the near future. Unfortunately, we do not have good estimates of how many Harvest Mice there are in the wild, so we really have no idea how bad their situation is or what sort of conservation actions should be put in place. This is why the Mammal Society launched the National Harvest Mouse Survey across Britain, getting people to look for harvest mice nests. Surveys do not take long and no prior experience or specialist equipment is required to carry them out. The visit to Park Lane NR will also be an opportunity to discuss habitat management work over the winter months.
