What to bring: Long sleeves, trousers, thick socks and waterproofs that you don’t mind getting muddy! All other equipment will be provided. Please bring your own water and any other snacks you might want besides DCRT biscuits.

Tasks include: Maintenance and improvements of the existing leaky woody dams. We’ll be in shallow waters using hand tools (e.g. spades, hand saws) and lifting aids. A reasonable level of fitness is required. Do get in touch if you’d like to find out more.
