Floating Pennywort Work Party - Tuesday 15th 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.

Parking: Travelling from Oakley to Hoxne along Low Street, (B1118), turn left onto a farm track. I will flag the entrance using high-viz. It's a few hundred yards before the bridge over the River Dove. 

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
