January began as a frosty month, where we finished up our work on a section of reeds in the Hare & Billet pond, Blackheath. We’ll return next winter to tackle the next area of reeds, as we cut areas back on rotation

Elsewhere in the borough, we were planting native black poplar trees along the River Pool, we planted 5 trees, 3 male and 2 female along the stretch of the river and installed protective cages around them to give them time to grow large enough without any disturbance.
