River Yeading Clean Up

Creating bundles of twigs (faggots) from tree branches already cut on site, and tying with hemp string. Later in spring these bundles will be then be put in the river to help silt build up, which will then be planted with native river plants.

London Wildlife Trust is looking for volunteers to join in regular practical work days to help enhance the Yeading Brook for wildlife and the enjoyment of local people. Be prepared it may get occasionally muddy, but no experience needed!

Come along if you feeling like working outside in a beautiful environment, doing something different and meeting new people, and helping the river at the same time. The work will take place on the different nature reserves in the area through which the river Yeading flows.

Tea and biscuits will be provided. There are no toilets on site, but facilities will be arranged with a local community centre. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing, and bring wellington boots if you have any!
