Little Park - Wet woodland bramble removal & dead hedging
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
About 14.8 miles away from your postcode
At Little Park -River Crane
Activity description
We will be working in Little Park to protect the wetland ditches, maintaining water vole habitat for the population released on site. Brambles very quickly take over a site, so it's important we remove any runners starting to grow within and across the wetland ditches. By maintaining an open environment, we are allowing wetlands plants to continue to grow and spread (providing food and habitat for the water voles). We are also looking to reinforce and extend the dead hedges onsite to reduce disturbance of the wetland area.

Little Park - Riverbank planting for water voles
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
About 14.8 miles away from your postcode
At Little Park -River Crane
Activity description
We will be planting our newly cleared stream bank in Little Park to improve habitat for the endangered water vole. The project is being managed by Zoological Society of London on behalf of the Crane Valley Partnership, on land which is owned and managed by Richmond Council. Water voles need well vegetated banks for food, and predator avoidance. Overshading is the principle reason for lack of vegetated banks in this stretch of Mill Stream. Earlier this year, sections of bank were cleared of larger trees and bramble scrub and will now be planted up with native marshland species. Wear clothes you are happy getting muddy in - or bring a spare outer layer for the end of the day. If you have wellies, we do recommend wearing them at this site (a stock will also be available on the day). 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. Land-loving volunteers are also vital for planting along the tops of banks, helping to move and distribute plants around the site, and litter picking. Please come with lots of energy, we will have ~1000 plant plugs to move into the site and get in the ground!
