On Sunday 5th October 2025, LBCV will be working alongside the ditch on Walthamstow Marshes to remove willow and other tree growth in this SSSI Nature Reserve to maintain it as a marsh environment. 

To join us, meet at the Waterworks Centre, Lammas Road from 9:30am – 10am. 

Conservation Task Details

The aim of the task is to remove willow and other woody tree growth by cutting it down, to maintain the area as a marshland habitat. 

While doing the task we need to be cautious as the ditch contains the invasive azolla, mosquito fern, duckweed fern and we must take precautions to stop it spread to other parts of the ditch and nearby waterbodies.
