Floating Pennywort Work Party - Fri 4th Nov

River Waveney Trust Floating Pennywort Control 

Most Fridays and occasional Tuesdays during November & December 2022 (check our website, as locations and times will vary from week to week)

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.

We will park just off the A143, on the right-hand side of the road travelling between the Billingford Mill turn-off and the Scole roundabout. I will flag the entrance on the day with some high viz. The exact location is marked on the map

What to expect:

A friendly atmosphere, teas & coffee provided

You will need adequate fitness to carry out dragging and pulling 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, inquiries to Katie@riverwaventrust.org
