Action for Silk Stream – River Action Day at Watling Park
30th November 2023 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join us for our Action for Silk Stream monthly volunteering days. They will be held on the last Thursday of each month.
We will be thinning and removing overgrown vegetation along the Burnt Oak Brook which flows through Watling Park. This will improve sight lines through the park and make it safer. It also has environmental benefits too as it lets light in so that other plants can grow.

Action for Silk Stream is a project that is helping to tackle the effects of climate change by making space for water, reducing flooding and improving water quality in the Silk Stream catchment for the benefit of communities and the environment.
This is an event designed for the community to engage the local public with the river and not for corporates. If you are interested in a bespoke corporate volunteer day. Please visit our website https://www.thames21.org.uk/get-involved-2/corporateteamdays/
