Crane Park Tower - River deflector repair & Himalayan balsam removal
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
About 48.8 miles away from your postcode
At Crane Park Tower
Activity description
We will be working in the River Crane to repair existing river deflectors, and along the banks and pathways to remove Himalayan balsam. Crane Park is managed for biodiversity by LBRuT. River deflectors are a tool used in the restoration of urbanised rivers, primarily to deflect waterflow to re-meander the waterway (i.e. create curvy rivers). This work creates new habitats for aquatic dwelling species such as the common reed, water voles, invertebrates & fish! Himalayan balsam is an invasive species that thrives along waterways, creating dense stands in spring and summer, and shades our other marginal or riverside species. Removal is often done in spring, before the seed heads are able to form. Please wear trousers and a long-sleeve shirt to avoid skin irritation from nettles, while pulling Himalyan balsam. We will provide waders and gloves. If you have smaller feet, I would recommend bringing an extra thick pair of socks as the smallest wader size we have available is a 7.
