Anyone for river work?
In the grey dawn of January’s third Saturday, eight motivated Wandle Piscators grabbed their bow-saws and sledgehammers… and followed up last October’s work at Ravensbury Park with a quick ‘n’ dirty couple of hours spent tidying and securing fallen Large Woody Debris in the Wandle around Culvers Island.
All the work was agreed ahead of time with the Environment Agency and Sutton Council, and we hope it’ll be just in time to provide this year’s little fish fry of all species with habitat pockets in this still-overshaded, canalised stretch of the upper Wandle!
Thanks to all our volunteers: Adrian, Andy, Jez, Jim, John, Rich, Steve and Will
