We will be doing a foreshore clean up alongside and after the survey. We look forward to welcoming you to our event which will cover everything you need to know to carry out a litter survey or clean up with Thames21 as a Citizen Science Volunteer for Thames River Watch.

Join us to bring the Dollis Brook back to life! A total of 10 fun and interactive volunteer events will be held throughout the winter season to restore the Dollis Brook to its former glory. Historic toe-boarding has left Dollis Brook with a uniform channel shape, limiting the number of suitable habitats for wildlife. Our mission is to install woody debris in the channel to create a more diverse flow pattern, improving habitat for fish, invertebrates and other species. This will also help the brook develop a more natural form over time and support the recovery of the riverbanks from the artificial shape imposed upon it.

Thank you for registering your place at Thames Road Wetland. We will be in touch with further details the week before the event. If after registering, you are unable to attend, please cancel your place so it can go to people on the waiting list. Many thanks :)

Despite its urban surroundings, Thames Road Wetland which sits within the Green Belt, is part of a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation, making it one of the best sites for wildlife in London. It is home to national, London and Bexley rarities including stately MarshSow-thistles, tiny Brookweed, Water Voles and Harvest Mice along with a wide range of invertebrates and birds such as Water Rail, Cetti's and Reed Warblers.Wetlands like this are crucial for biodiversity and play an important role in purifying water, reducing flood risk, and storing carbon.Like other sites in urbanised areas, it lacks the full range of species that would once have helped maintain a balance of wildlife, such as a variety of large herbivores and carnivores. That's where the Thames Road Wetlands group comes in... Whilst a small group, led by volunteer site manager Chris Rose works at the site most weeks, we are now holding larger public volunteer sessions on the 2nd Friday (as much as is possible) of each autumn and winter month and less frequently in spring and summer, with all tools, waders and kit provided. Autumn and winter activities include cutting and removing Reed from shallow areas to maintain open water for birds and dragonflies, sustain a greater variety of plant species and reduce drying out. Also pollarding Sallows (cutting back selected trees and chopping up and stacking the brash), silt removal, occasional path work and some litter picking duties. You will need work clothes, adequate sun/rain shower protection and any food and drink required. There are toilet facilities nearby at the council depot which also has a canteen. There are some convenience stores about 10 mins away. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. The events start at 10.30am, but please arrive at 10am to get kitted up and briefed at the meeting point, which is by the steps near Thames Road on By-way 105 (what3words location: dome.silly.above) near the bridge where the road crosses the River Cray.Please contact Sam at Samantha.Dhedhi@thames21.org.uk if you have any further questions. Please book your place so we can ensure we have kit for you. Finish time is around 2pm, but feel free to go whenever you need to. Chris Rose. Volunteer Site Manager.

Join us to turn Oxleas Woods into a flood-fighting, biodiversity-boosting powerhouse! This winter, join us for 15 fun and hands-on volunteer events as we transform Oxleas Woods into a thriving wet woodland. Together, we’ll help slow the flow of floodwater, protect downstream communities, and create a vibrant habitat for wildlife. Last year, we installed 16 leaky dams along the River Wogebourne, which flows through the heart of the woodland. This year, we are extending this work to the smaller tributaries of the Wogebourne, helping to retain even more water within the woodland. We are also creating dead hedges in eroded areas to protect and encourage the recovery of the woodland understory.

Action for Silk Stream  - River Action Day 

Join us to bring the River Beck back to life! A total of 7 fun and interactive volunteer events will be held throughout the winter season to restore the River Beck to its former glory. The River Beck is a valued local blue space that runs through High Broom and Harvington Woods, but heavy public use has led to widespread bank erosion and increased sediment entering the river. Our mission is to use nature-based solutions upstream to reduce erosion, improve wildlife habitat, protect riverside paths, and help prevent costly downstream sediment build-up. Activities include installing dead hedging, creating natural berms at the toe of the river bank, installing deflectors in the channel to improve the health of the river and removing invasive vegetation.
