No LBCV will only ever do do Practical Conservation tasks on the first Sunday of the month in North East London. We may also have a stall at Green events such as the LBWF Green Fair and the Lea Valley Park Wildlife Weekend.

There are other conservation groups that do mid-weeks tasks close to Connaught Close such as BTCV and the Lea Valley Park Rangers. Details of these tasks are included in the Newsletter.

The next task will be on Sunday 5 September 2010 when we will be planting native species such as  snowdrops and bluebells in the wooded areas of Tottenham Marshes to increase the biodiversity of the area. There will be an optional cycle ride to the task site.

The next task will be on Sunday 1 August  2010, it is a change to the published task, so please subscribe to the newsletter to receive a detailed task description once the site visit has been completed. We will be working in the Middlesex Filter Beds off Lea Bridge Road.
