    Crane Park - Water vole ditch habitat creation (FINAL SESSION)

    With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)

    At Crane Park, Hospital Bridge Road Entrance

    Activity description

    This will be our FINAL SESSION working along the edge of the River Crane (off Hospital Bridge Road) to reinstate a ditch system and create a bund as habitat for water voles. This project is in partnership with FORCE and LBRuT. 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. We have a selection of chest waders available, but most of them are larger sizes (7 and upwards). So if you have smaller feet, you will need to bring a pair of extra, thick, socks to work in these waders. This work will be muddy, so I do recommend you bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty in or spare layers to wear at the end of the day.
