Reedbed Management in Dulwich Park Lake, SE21 7BQ
With Biodiversity Action Team (South London)
About 5.7 miles away from your postcode
At Dulwich Park
Activity description
We are very pleased to be returning to Dulwich Park after many years, to help the 'Friends of' group with the management of the reedbeds around the perimeter of the park lake. The reeds haven't been cut for quite a few years so the reed beds are now very large, so we will be reducing the reedbed cover by 25% in the soutneastern corner of the lake. We will be cutting the reeds at ground / water level, and bagging up all the arisings in bulk sacks for the parks staff to collect.

Craneford Way Greenspace - Hedgelaying
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
About 13.2 miles away from your postcode
At Craneford Way Greenspace
Activity description
We will be working along the walkway between Craneford Way Greenspace and Mereway Nature Park to continue laying a section of planted hedgerow. This greenspace managed for biodiversity by Richmond Council. Hedge laying is a traditional technique used to create living fences or boundaries by cutting and laying hedge tree stems to promote dense vegetation growth. Whilst hedge laying is still used for this reason across the UK, in urban areas it is also utilised to create dense, biodiverse, green corridors and refugia for animals. Alternative activities will be available for those who would prefer not to participate in hedge laying.
