Foots Cray Meadows - Reed Bed Management

Description

Join us at the beautiful Foots Cray Meadows by the historic Five Arch Bridge to help manage the reed beds on the River Cray.


Just downstream from Five Arch Bridge is a reed bed that several years ago was non-existent. It reached the point where it was completely as wide as the river and became an obstruction. It's been slowly reduced, but it needs a final concerted effort to bring it properly under control. The reed mat takes a bit of effort to dig out, hence the need for a reasonable level of fitness.


The work will be carried out standing in the river with waders on and will be rather physical. Waders and all tools will be provided.


Refreshments will be served after the event.


This is event is being run with the Cray River Action Group (CRAG).


This is an event designed for the community to engage the local public with the river and not for corporates. If you are interested in a bespoke corporate volunteer day. Please visit our website  https://www.thames21.org.uk/get-involved-2/corporateteamdays/
