September saw us heading back into bankside management. Starting off with the backwater in Ladywell Fields (middle field), we removed the last strands of Himalayan Balsam and reduced the nettles and brambles.
The following week we were back to start the work on clearing the channel, which involved moving some large logs from the entrance to the pond area.
Lots of pictures this month! Towards mid-September we did our quarterly clean up of the secondary channel and weir in Ladywell Fields (North). You can often see the weir being cleared here as whenever the river is in flood mode it brings all kinds of debris down through the park that gets caught here.
Lastly, we started our project at the hub, but we’ll share more about this project next month as we have more sessions coming up there!
