02-03-2014: Hogsmill River transformed into wetland wonderland!

Volunteers turned out in force to see the culmination of our Hogsmill habitat improvement project at our Knights Park campus. Today's task was to plant up the new riverbank areas with marginal plants ready to take advantage of the spring warmth.

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.

Having a laugh in the River - who said hard work wasn't fun?!

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!

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'!
