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!

Woodland understorey vegetation management
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
About 45.4 miles away from your postcode
At Kings Walk Spinney
Activity description
Kings Walk spinney has a mature Oak canopy with the understorey comprising of predominantly Damson fruit trees, yew, holly, mixed thorn and sycamore regeneration growth along with snowberry. We will be uprooting self-set ash, sycamore and clearing a good section of the snowberry. The aim is not to let the snowberry colonise the understorey floor and thereby not allowing sunlight to reach the ground level for other beneficial woodland plant. This plant colonizes very quickly without any ongoing management.

Kew Pond - Reed management
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
About 46.4 miles away from your postcode
At Kew Pond
Activity description
We will be working in Kew Pond to manage reed growth to maintain open water and ensure reeds don't dominate the habitat. We will also provide s bit of TLC to the alder buckthorn we planted on the island earlier this year. The common reed grows to form large reedbeds which act as important habitat for many bird species (e.g. reed warbler). In ponds, and smaller waterways, reedbeds can start to dominate the habitat reducing the amount of open water available for waterfowl to use. Reedbeds are often managed yearly, with removal of small sections of reeds each year. We will provide waders and pond gloves. Please note our smallest waders are a size 7, if you have smaller feet please bring an extra thick pair of socks. We will have one or two non-water tasks for those not wanting to get in the pond.

Grass Strimming and raking
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
About 19.1 miles away from your postcode
At Great Stukeley Sssi
Activity description
This site is a rare and important grassland habitat so we're helping to manage it for wildlife by keeping nutrient levels low. Strimming the grass off and raking it away from the grassland means nettles and thistles are less likely to thrive, giving more chance for wildflowers to do well.
