Ham Pond - Vegetation & reed management
With Richmond Weekday Projects
About 11.5 miles away from your postcode
At Ham Common Pond
Activity description
We will be working within and around Ham Pond completing vegetation management, including: - Caring for the 160 whips planted in 2025 by canopy lifting larger vegetation, weeding and fixing the temporary fencing. - Completing annual reed bed management, through the push back of reed growth from vistas, digging out excess reed growth encroaching into the pond, and cutting a section of reed bed. - Coppicing the 4 pollarded willow trees on the island (can only be done when water levels allow us to wade across). If you have a body board you'd be happy for us to use to float arisings back off the island - please get in touch!). We will provide waders and gloves. If you are of a smaller foot size, I would recommend bringing an extra thick pair of socks as the smallest wader size we have available is a 7. If these tasks are completed, we will look to move to the adjacent Ham Avenues.

Wednesday Practical Conservation Workdays

Activity description
Join our regular Wednesday conservation workdays at the Ecology Park and help the wardens carry out vital management work in the park's different habitats - marsh, meadow, lakes, ponds, shingle beach and woodland. You can just turn up on a Wednesday and don't need to book ahead but, the first time you volunteer, we will ask you to fill out a TCV Volunteer Welfare Form (or we can email this to you in advance if you prefer). You will be working as part of a volunteer team with the park wardens, carrying out tasks such as pond clearing, reed cutting, meadow cutting, coppicing (cutting smaller tree stems), digging and weeding.
