Winter vegetation management along site ditches.
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
About 4.9 miles away from your postcode
At Everards Meadows
Activity description
We will focus on clearing all dead, encroaching/excess vegetation growth from the site ditches and along the margins where it is safe to do so. Where the site flood meadows are under water we will hopefully be able to locate safer areas of work, if not we may have to reschedule the work. It might be a good idea to bring wellingtons.
