Floating Pennywort Work Party

River Waveney Trust Floating Pennywort Control 

October, November December 2022

Join Broads Authority River Rangers & our volunteer River Wardens to help control invasive floating pennywort between Billingford Bridge and Hoxne Mill. All training and equipment provided.

Parking: will be in a meadow off Low Road, on the right-hand side before the Billingford Bridge as you drive toward it from the A143. I will be standing by with high-viz to direct people where to come.

What to expect:

A friendly atmosphere, teas & coffee provided

You will need adequate fitness to drag and pull vegetation with a rake and travel across uneven ground.

Full training and tools required for the job.

What to bring:

Garden gloves

Plenty to drink and a packed lunch.

Wear hats, sunscreen or extra layers depending on the time of year.

Wellington boots

Please dress for the weather with long-sleeved tops and trousers. Fleece materials are preferable when working close to the water as they are lightweight and dry more quickly.

A dry bag with spare clothes is recommended.

Volunteers wishing to bring a kayak or canoe are welcome. Just confirm arrangements directly with katie@riverwaventrust.org before the event.

Expenses:

We have limited funds available to contribute towards volunteer travel expenses. Please inquire with Katie about the day.

Thanks, Katie
