Activity description

We will be completing aquatic planting in the Ham Common Wood ponds, and working to maintain glades and pathways through bramble removal. Oxygenator pond plants are essential for pond life, contributing to oxygen levels in the water, and will provide further habitat for water-dwelling species.

Meeting place

We meet at St. Andrew's Church at 10am. Look for the TCV van. What3words meeting point: ///heads.museum.actor There is a small amount of free parking available at the church for those wanting to drive.
