Tasks: natural flood management – leaky dam maintenance

Timing: 10am – 3pm

The day will involve maintenance of the leaky dams and mini-dams installed on previous volunteer days in the woods that help to slow the flow of storm waters. This will include activities such as clearing the debris and silt that has built up behind the dams following the winter storms and increasing the height of mini-dams by sawing and fixing small timbers across ditches.  Please do join us if you like getting your hands dirty and having a good work out! Long sleeves, trousers and waterproofs are recommended. All other equipment will be provided.

There are a limited number of spaces available so you will need to book on to sessions in advance.
