Boardwalk and dipping platform installation at Palace Road Nature Garden, Brixton Hill, SW2 3NJ
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
At Palace Road Nature Garden
Activity description
We return to Palace Road Nature Garden to carry out some essential works on the main pond, which has now developed quite a few serious leaks. This week we will be installing the dipping platform to a new design, this time situated in what was the centre of the former pond, with a boardwalk leading to it from the bank. When we return at the end of the month we will be installing the new smaller lined pond at the end of the platform area, with a few smaller lined sections to create ephemeral ponds that will fill during the winter months.

Wildflower Summer Grassland Project.
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At Wing Water Treatment Works
Activity description
Come and join us for the annual hay cut and hand raking on eight designated parcels of species rich grassland surrounding the Wing Water Treatment Works site in the attractive Rutland countryside. Volunteers will be working to rake the cut grass from shaded areas into open areas, some translocation of cut grass from the smaller parcels to the larger areas for ease of conditioning into hay. All conditioned hay will be baled by a local farm park to be used for animal feed. This is a rewarding project for volunteers who are well looked after on this Anglian Water site, a good opportunity to enjoy and be outside with nature.
