Join us for a hands-on project at Beckenham Place Park this September, October, and November! We’ll be focusing on enhancing the east side of the park along the River Ravensbourne, 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 efforts will increase habitat diversity, reduce riverbank erosion, and limit the amount of sediment flowing downstream, benefiting the river's ecosystem.

Meeting Point:

We’ll gather at the top of the east-side of the park near the river.
