Volunteer Day - Pond Planting

🌿 Volunteer Day at Trent Park – Pond Planting

Enfield Council invite you to come and join in for the continuation of the Landscape Recovery project at Enfield Chase.

Come along and help London breathe for the future, take an active part in the restoration of our landscape, meet like minded people, experience the beautiful outdoors, see some rarer wildlife and speak with knowledgeable staff who can provide insight into the project and how you can get involved. 

🌲What are we doing?

The aim of the event is to work together to plant the new pond at Trent Park with water‑loving plants, helping to establish wetland habitat, improve biodiversity, and support the pond’s long‑term health.

🎒 What Do I Need to Bring?

• Water and your own lunch
• Weather‑appropriate outdoor clothing
• Sturdy boots or wellingtons
• Waders if you have them (we will have a few available)

Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided for all volunteers.

Public toilets are about a 15-20min walk away

An induction briefing and a health & safety talk will take place at the start of the event. A member of Enfield Council staff will be on site to guide you.
