LBCV's 2013/14 programme of tasks has been finalised, if you would like a 2013/14 programme check at the Waterworks Nature Reserve, Hornbeam Centre or your local Library, in late March 2013.

The programme of monthly tasks includes invasive species management, wetland management, wildlife habitat creation, native species planting and our usual winter of  traditional countryside skills such as coppicing & hedge laying, all in the Lea Valley Regional Park.

If you have an interest in nature conservationism, then volunteer with us on the first Sunday doing practical conservation tasks in North East London's largest open space, the Lea Valley Park. We have done volunteering tasks from The East India Dock Basin on the Thames to Coppermill Fields in Waltham Abbey. These tasks can range from woodland management, such as coppicing, the countryside skills of hedge laying, dead hedging and the removal of invasive vegetation with a traditional Bramble Bash.

Everybody is welcome to volunteer with LBCV doing a hands-on practical conservation task in North East London, on the first Sunday of the month. No experience is needed, we provide the training, tools, along with the tea, coffee and biscuits, bring your own packed lunch.  Please wear suitable clothing for the weather and stout footwear. We will endeavour to do the planned task, no matter what the weather, a task will only be changed if the weather makes it unsafe to do the work.
