Join myself and the rangers from Kingston University in clearing invasive Rhododendron shrubs from the university's woodland.
On Saturday 1ST December 10am-3pm
Work will include using saws, loppers and mattocks to remove branches and dig out root stumps. This will allow more light into the woodland and in turn will encourage more growth of the native species. As we go we will collect litter and remove old tree guards. Today's event will also include planting new trees. No previous experience is necessary as full instruction will be given at the start. Please be prompt for the health and safety talk after which we will move into the woodland. Parents will need supervise their children at all times.
Please wear old clothes/waterproofs that are suitable for day's weather and sturdy boots as the area we will be working on is uneven and on a fairly steep slope.
Snacks will be provided and we will try cover the people that log a 'will attend', please bring your own packed lunch and drinks. Cakes to share are always welcome!
Public transport to the university is via local buses 85 and K3 From Putney Bridge and Kingston Stations
