Join us for a hands-on project at Spiceball Park this winter! We’ll be focusing on enhancing the River Cherwell, working to restore and improve the natural river processes.

Volunteers will help manage vegetation, construct dead hedges, and get up close with the river by putting on waders to build in-channel deflectors and brash berms. These works will increase habitat diversity, reduce riverbank erosion, and limit the amount of sediment flowing downstream, benefiting the river and the animals and plants which live in it.

What you need to bring:

• Please bring lunch and water, we will provide tea, coffee and biscuits
• Please do bring layers, sensible footwear and waterproofs. It can get cold working outside and in the water and the weather can turn any time

Please note:

• This event involves physical activity, including walking, wading, and using tools. A good level of fitness is required.
• It is not suitable for children. Volunteers aged 16-18 must be accompanied by a guardian.
• There are no toilets on-site

Once you have registered for the event, the exact meeting location will be sent to you via email

.

Come ready to get involved and make a difference!

If river levels are deemed high, the event will be moved to the 7th to 10th March, we will let you know in advance if this is the case.
