GH Wildlife Group – Mill/Marsh Meadows
Mill/Marsh Meadows
Date and time: Wednesday 23 November, 9:30 – 12:30
Meeting place: The Mill Meadows car park, just beyond the River & Rowing Museum. Sally has made arrangements with the Town Council for volunteers to park for free for the duration of the work party
Things to bring: gardening gloves
The main task for this session will probably be raking up cut vegetation but it would be good to also cut some of the sedges and rushes in the ponds. As always, litter picking will be on the agenda. See below for the more general information. Attached please find the risk assessment.
Greener Henley Wildlife Group sessions
Our sessions are generally pleasant and sociable occasions. Some of the work is quite strenuous, but there are always lighter tasks for those who would prefer them, for whatever reason. We have a break mid-morning when refreshments are provided: tea, coffee and cake. Please bring your own gardening gloves. Any gardening gloves will be all right for tasks like pulling Himalayan Balsam but heavier ones will be needed for working with brambles. No previous experience is necessary, and tools are usually provided. Tough clothes and stout footwear are recommended. Marsh Meadows is often wet underfoot so waterproof footwear is recommended when we are working there, particularly if working in the pond area. Volunteers are welcome to join us for the full three hours or any part of them.
If you intend coming to work parties and haven’t already provided the information in the table below, could I please ask you to do so.
