Little Park - Water vole habitat creation
With Richmond Weekday Projects
About 3.0 miles away from your postcode
At Little Park -River Crane
Activity description
We will be working in Little Park to re-naturalise a section of Mill Stream and improve the 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 vole 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. We will look to reduce the shading over the western bank of the stream by removing overhanging branches, smaller trees and scrubby patches. 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. Land-loving volunteers are also vital for collecting and moving green waste and litter around the site.

Twickenham Cemetery - Tree planting
With Richmond Weekday Projects
About 2.2 miles away from your postcode
At Twickenham Cemetery
Activity description
We will be planting tree whips to create a new 100m hedgerow in Twickenham Cemetery. We will also plant two larger disease resistant elm trees which will provide food and habitat for the rare white-letter hairstreak butterfly. Hedgerows are valuable habitats as they provide a dense and varied scrub for animals to nest and feed within. Hedgerows also provide a long, continuous, green corridor to aid the movement of species across greenspaces. This project was made possible with the support of a grant from The Tree Council and Network Rail’s Community Tree Planting Fund received by Richmond Council.
