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 on the 2nd Friday (as much as is possible) of each autumn and winter month and less frequently in spring and summer\, with all tools\, waders and kit provided. \nAutumn and winter 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. \nThere is less to do in spring and summer. Reed re-growth needs cutting and removal. Reptile basking sites have to be kept open. Shrub extension growth encroaching on paths needs trimming back. Some selective ‘weeding’ is carried out around rarer species. Tasks generally require greater \nknowledge and/or closer supervision so are easier to manage with fewer and more regular volunte ers. We also need to avoid disturbing breeding birds. We therefore have fewer staffed events at this time of year. \nBesides supporting the site’s wildlife\, helping out is a rewarding way to connect with nature and benefit your local community. \nThe August session will include some or all of the following tasks: \n\nRaking out the next cut of Reed at the west end.\nDigging out Reed rootmat and silt from north-west corner pool.\nUsing pole pruner to cut out Reed/Reedmace stems from main ditch and/or River Wansunt\nComplete the emptying the of road run-off trap.\n\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 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. Please book your place 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. \nREGISTER HERE\n

SUMMARY:Oxleas Woods – Slowing the Flow
DESCRIPTION:Join us to turn Oxleas Woods into a flood-fighting\, biodiversity-boosting powerhouse! \nThis winter\, join us for 15 fun and hands-on volunteer events as we transform Oxleas Woods into a thriving wet woodland. Together\, we’ll help slow the flow of floodwater\, protect downstream communities\, and create a vibrant habitat for wildlife. \nLast year\, we installed 16 leaky dams along the River Wogebourne\, which flows through the heart of the woodland. This year\, we are extending this work to the smaller tributaries of the Wogebourne\, helping to retain even more water within the woodland. We are also creating dead hedges in eroded areas to protect and encourage the recovery of the woodland understory. \nBooking link: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/9TPs7t51MkYdlQFqEbKm \nWhere to meet: \nOxleas Woods Café car park \n\nWhat 3 Words: second.butter.swung\nGoogle maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ew6xcXvhSu69ujqK7\nNearest station: Falconwood\n\nOccasionally the meeting point may change depending on where we are working during the day. You will be notified the day before the event via email where the meeting point will be. \nWhat to Bring: \nDress for the weather and the task – long trousers and sleeves are advisable as there are nettles and brambles. \nPlease bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids. \nWe will bring tea/coffee and biscuits. \nWe will provide all other equipment (including wellies) needed for the event and we look forward to welcoming you! \nExtra Info: \nEmail charlie.southard@thames21.org.uk if you have any questions. \nAnyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

SUMMARY:Oxleas Woods – Slowing the Flow
DESCRIPTION:Join us to turn Oxleas Woods into a flood-fighting\, biodiversity-boosting powerhouse! \nThis winter\, join us for 15 fun and hands-on volunteer events as we transform Oxleas Woods into a thriving wet woodland. Together\, we’ll help slow the flow of floodwater\, protect downstream communities\, and create a vibrant habitat for wildlife. \nLast year\, we installed 16 leaky dams along the River Wogebourne\, which flows through the heart of the woodland. This year\, we are extending this work to the smaller tributaries of the Wogebourne\, helping to retain even more water within the woodland. We are also creating dead hedges in eroded areas to protect and encourage the recovery of the woodland understory. \nBooking link: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/9TPs7t51MkYdlQFqEbKm \nWhere to meet: \nOxleas Woods Café car park \n\nWhat 3 Words: second.butter.swung\nGoogle maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ew6xcXvhSu69ujqK7\nNearest station: Falconwood\n\nOccasionally the meeting point may change depending on where we are working during the day.

SUMMARY:Oxleas Woods – Slowing the Flow
DESCRIPTION:Join us to turn Oxleas Woods into a flood-fighting\, biodiversity-boosting powerhouse! \nThis winter\, join us for 15 fun and hands-on volunteer events as we transform Oxleas Woods into a thriving wet woodland. Together\, we’ll help slow the flow of floodwater\, protect downstream communities\, and create a vibrant habitat for wildlife. \nLast year\, we installed 16 leaky dams along the River Wogebourne\, which flows through the heart of the woodland. This year\, we are extending this work to the smaller tributaries of the Wogebourne\, helping to retain even more water within the woodland. We are also creating dead hedges in eroded areas to protect and encourage the recovery of the woodland understory. \nBooking link: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/9TPs7t51MkYdlQFqEbKm \nWhere to meet: \nOxleas Woods Café car park \n\nWhat 3 Words: second.butter.swung\nGoogle maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ew6xcXvhSu69ujqK7\nNearest station: Falconwood\n\nOccasionally the meeting point may change depending on where we are working during the day.

SUMMARY:Back in Beck - River Restoration Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us to bring the River Beck back to life! \nA total of 7 fun and interactive volunteer events will be held throughout the winter season to restore the River Beck to its former glory. \nThe River Beck is a valued local blue space that runs through High Broom and Harvington Woods\, but heavy public use has led to widespread bank erosion and increased sediment entering the river. Our mission is to use nature-based solutions upstream to reduce erosion\, improve wildlife habitat\, protect riverside paths\, and help prevent costly downstream sediment build-up. \nActivities include installing dead hedging\, creating natural berms at the toe of the river bank\, installing deflectors in the channel to improve the health of the river and removing invasive vegetation. \nBooking link: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/QecMzFyKI6OlgkbzTd5h \nWhere to meet: \nSt David’s Rd\, Beckenham BR3 0QY \n\nWhat 3 Words: deflection.fears.skinny\nGoogle maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YuWDtxsR1DLCZcuDA\nNearest station: West Wickham\n\nOccasionally the meeting point may change depending on where we are working during the day. You will be notified the day before the event via email where the meeting point will be. \n  \nWhat to Bring: \nDress for the weather and the task – long trousers and sleeves are advisable as there are nettles and brambles. \nPlease bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids. \nWe will bring tea/coffee and biscuits. \nWe will provide all other equipment (including waders) needed for the event and we look forward to welcoming you! \nExtra Info: \nEmail charlie.southard@thames21.org.uk if you have any questions. \nAnyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

SUMMARY:Oxleas Woods – Slowing the Flow
DESCRIPTION:Join us to turn Oxleas Woods into a flood-fighting\, biodiversity-boosting powerhouse! \nThis winter\, join us for 15 fun and hands-on volunteer events as we transform Oxleas Woods into a thriving wet woodland. Together\, we’ll help slow the flow of floodwater\, protect downstream communities\, and create a vibrant habitat for wildlife. \nLast year\, we installed 16 leaky dams along the River Wogebourne\, which flows through the heart of the woodland. This year\, we are extending this work to the smaller tributaries of the Wogebourne\, helping to retain even more water within the woodland. We are also creating dead hedges in eroded areas to protect and encourage the recovery of the woodland understory. \nBooking link: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/9TPs7t51MkYdlQFqEbKm \nWhere to meet: \nOxleas Woods Café car park \n\nWhat 3 Words: second.butter.swung\nGoogle maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ew6xcXvhSu69ujqK7\nNearest station: Falconwood\n\nOccasionally the meeting point may change depending on where we are working during the day.
