SUMMARY:River Cray at Crayford: Riverside Vegetation Management
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the River Cray at Crayford! \nBOOK HERE! \nThis is a volunteer session to help cut back the overgrown vegetation on the banks of the River Cray and use it to build a dead hedge. \nWe will be cutting brambles and small saplings to build a dead hedge. A dead hedge is a barrier made from fallen branches\, prunings and other woody debris\, constructed by piling materials between two parallel rows of stakes. It serves as a wildlife habitat for insects\, birds\, and small mammals\, while also acting as a natural fence or windbreak. \nPlease note: A reasonable level of physical fitness is required for this event due to the nature of the tasks involved. The cutting will partly be on a steep bank so a level of dexterity and balance is required. There will also be tasks of moving the cut branches to a near by site to build the dead hedge. \nWe will provide all tools\, gloves\, equipment and wellies. \nWhere to meet: \nThis will take place on the near bank of the River Cray on Footpath 106\, near the entrance to the footpath in Barnes Cray Road postcode DA1 4NR.
