Helping the Friends of Ham Lands - Cancelled due to lockdown
Improving the natural habitat of the Ham Lands nature reserve
Location
Date and time
10:00 - 12:00Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.
This is a repeat community mission, which takes place every second Saturday of the month, from 10am - 12pm.
The FOHL work with local naturalists and the Council’s ecology officer to identify work that needs doing in the Ham Lands area. Tasks will vary from week to week: sometimes we will be clearing weeds, brambles or other undesirable plants, sometimes tackling Himalayan Balsam by the river (in the summer), sometimes it will be a litter pick. All of these tasks are aimed at (1) maintaining the sheltered open grassland areas and open woodland, to improve the habitat for flora and fauna, and particularly for the local butterfly population and (2) maintaining some of the small footpaths through the scrub that are in danger of being overgrown, to ensure people can continue to enjoy the area.
Please wear working clothes including strong and waterproof footwear. Due to the coronavirus, the Friends of Ham Lands are not able to provide gloves and hi-vis vest. Please bring your own gardening gloves. If you have a hi-vis vest or jacket please wear it. If you have secateurs or saws please bring them.
Children are very welcome but need to be accompanied by an adult.
