SUMMARY:Thames Road Wetland: Help Manage An Important Wetland
DESCRIPTION:Register here.\nDespite its urban surroundings\, Thames Road Wetland\, which sits within the Green Belt\, is part of a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation\, making it one of the best sites for wildlife in London. It is home to national\, London and Bexley rarities\, including stately Marsh \nSow-thistles\, tiny Brookweed\, Water Voles and Harvest Mice\, along with a wide range of invertebrates and birds such as Water Rail\, Cetti’s and Reed Warblers. \nWetlands like this are crucial for biodiversity and play an important role in purifying water\, reducing flood risk\, and storing carbon. \nLike other sites in urbanised areas\, it lacks the full range of species that would once have helped maintain a balance of wildlife\, such as a variety of large herbivores and carnivores. That’s where the Thames Road Wetlands group comes in… \nWhilst a small group\, led by volunteer site manager Chris Rose\, works at the site most weeks\, we are now holding larger public volunteer sessions once a month on the 2nd Friday of every month with all tools\, waders and kit provided. \nWinter activities include cutting and removing Reed from shallow areas to maintain open water for birds and dragonflies\, sustain a greater variety of plant species and reduce drying out. Also pollarding Sallows (cutting back selected trees and chopping up and stacking the brash)\, silt removal\, occasional path work and some litter picking duties. \nBesides supporting the site’s wildlife\, helping out is a rewarding way to connect with nature and benefit your local community. \nYou will need work clothes\, adequate sun/rain shower protection and any food and drink required. There are toilet facilities nearby at the council depot which also has a canteen. There are a some convenience stores about 10 mins away. \nTea\, coffee and biscuits are provided. \nThe events start at 10.30am\, but please arrive at 10am to get kitted up and briefed at the meeting point\, which is by the steps near Thames Road on By-way 105 (what3words location: dome.silly.above) near the bridge where the road crosses the River Cray. \nPlease contact Sam at Samantha.Dhedhi@thames21.org.uk if you have any further questions. \nPlease book your place here so we can ensure we have kit for you. Finish time is around 2pm\, but feel free to go whenever you need to. \nChris Rose. Volunteer Site Manager. \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/corporatevolunteering/
