SUMMARY:Foots Cray Meadows - Managing The Reed Bed
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the beautiful Foots Cray Meadows by the historic Five Arch Bridge to help manage the reed beds on the River Cray. \nBOOK HERE! \nImmediately downstream from Five Arch Bridge is a reed bed that several years ago was non-existent. It reached the point where it was completely as wide as the river and became an obstruction. It is regularly thinned out\, however we intend to remove a section of it between 4 and 5 metres wide and about 30 metres long by digging / pulling out the rhizome roots. The reed mat takes a little bit of effort to dig out\, hence the need for a reasonable level of fitness. Also some help is needed to move the cut material back from the bank. \nWe will meet at the Foots Cray Meadows Information Centre (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vPbbMRothX58cDfH7)\, (What3words location: wasp.grace.depend) at 10:00am for kit and waders and return there between 12:30pm and 1:00pm for refreshments. \nThe work will be carried out standing in the river with waders on. Waders and all tools ad PPE will be provided. \nRefreshments will be served after the event. \nThis is event is being run with the Cray River Action Group (CRAG) at Foots Cray Meadows. \nThis 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/ \nBOOK HERE!
