Hatherop Park - Vegetation clearance around the pond
An activity with Richmond Weekday Projects
Activity date: Thursday 6th November 2025
Start time: 10:00
Finish time: 16:00
Activity description
We will be working at Hatherop Park Conservation Area to manage scrub and remove brambles encroaching on the pond and adjacent pathways. This work will help maintain the open water of the pond, and reduce excess nutrients making its way into the pond. Our work will also keep pathways safe and accessible. We will have waders, pond gloves & Wellies available for use on the day.
Meeting place
We will meet in Hatherop Park, at the edge of the first meadow at 10am. To get to this location, follow the internal road (from Broad Lane) into the park, keep following the road past the pitches and around the corner. Look out for the TCV van parked along the side of the road. What3words meeting point:///poetic.took.level
