24/25-02-2014 : Volunteers stake-out the River Hogsmill!
The poor weather of late magically (and thankfully!) relented to allow volunteers to enter the Hogsmill River and begin our biggest volunteer project to date - to renaturalise the River Hogsmill at our Knights Park campus.

25-01-2014 : Record breaking rhodo bash!
This, our final rhodo bash of the season turned out to be one of the biggest and best yet! An eager group of 31 volunteers from Kingston University, The Environment Trust, Marymount School and the local area put in 110% effort to beat the invasive shrub dominating our woodland.

| Smiles all round - the rhodo bashing feel good factor is infectious! |
11-01-2014 : Floods? What floods? Clear skies and clear ditches at Tolworth Court
With the recent torrential downpours, nothing could be more appropriate for volunteers to get stuck into than ditch restoration to help water drainage at Tolworth Court sports ground and enhance habitat.
 |
| Volunteers lined the ditch, forming a production line of efficient digging 'machines'! |
07-12-2013 : Festive Rhodo bash at Kingston Hill
Our last biodiversity event of the year proved overwhelmingly popular as lots of students, local residents and Environment Trust volunteers turned out to help rid our grassland of invasive rhododendron. 'tis the season of goodwill and this lot certainly did their good deed for the day at Kingston Hill.
 |
| Getting into the festive spirit, the gang posed with santa hats on before they set to work! |
30-11-2013 : Ditch restoration at Tolworth Court scores highly for habitat.
A new venue, and a new task, but the same old gutsy determination from our volunteers was evident on Saturday as the ditches at Tolworth Court sportsground were given a new lease of life.
