Floating Pennywort Work Party - Friday 16th December

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 along A143 toward Diss from Harleston, take a left-hand turn just after the Thorpe Parva exit on the opposite side of the road. We can park in the field and walk straight downhill to the river. I'm informed all cattle are off on the northern river banks.

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
