Duke of Northumberland's River (Isleworth, Hounslow) - River clean up and planting
With Richmond Weekday Projects
About 1.5 miles away from your postcode
At Duke Of Northumberland's River - Octavia Rd
Activity description
We will be spending two days clearing rubbish from the Duke of Northumberland's River in Isleworth. We will also be planting pollinator friendly species along the recently cleared bank to create new habitat that doesn't overshade the riverbed. We are working in collaboration with the London Borough of Hounslow to maintain this blue space. Pollution is an ever present threat in UK waterways. By removing physical pollutants, we are helping to reduce the amount of rubbish making its way out to sea and creating safer habitat for native animals (e.g. freshwater fish & aquatic birds). We will need people that are confident to work with waders in the water, as well a people staying on the bank to deal with the bags of rubbish collected or helping to pull out bigger items. There will also be plenty of rubbish to collect along the margins of the footpath in flat and easy terrain. We have a selection of waders available, but most of them are bigger sizes (7 and upwards). So if you have smaller feet, please bring an extra pair of thick socks.
