Walthamstow Marshes – willow removal along ditches

On Sunday, 6th October 2024, LBCV will be working alongside the ditches on Walthamstow Marshes to remove willow in this SSSI Nature Reserve. To join us, meet at the Waterworks Centre on Lammas Road from 9:30 am to 10 am.

Everyone is welcome to volunteer with LBCV. No experience is required. Please wear sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the work and weather conditions, and apply sunscreen—some will be available in the welfare bucket. Waders will be provided for those working in the ditch. We will be working near brambles, close to nettles, and with sharp tools. We only conduct tasks on the first Sunday of every month, so a little bad weather will not stop us. We are no longer in lockdown.
