Join us to bring the River Beck back to life. The volunteer days will be held on sporadic Wednesdays from 11-3pm throughout the winter season.
The project aims to revive the River Beck through High Broom Woods.
Activities include installing dead hedging to prevent sedimentation of the river and manage access, litter picking in the stream and surrounding space, installing deflectors in the channel to improve the health of the river and removing invasive vegetation.
Where to meet:
Eresby Drive entrance - BR3 3SL (What 3 Words: usage.stores.bath)
Nearest train - Eden Park
What to Bring:
Dress for the weather and the task – long trousers and sleeves are advisable as there are nettles and brambles.
Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids.
We will bring tea/coffee and biscuits.
We will provide all other equipment (including wellies) needed for the event and we look forward to welcoming you!
