The Conservation Volunteers - Ham Lands Grassland Management

We will be working within Ham Lands, in collaboration with Friends of Ham Lands and LBRuT, to manage the meadows, scrub and woodland.

We will be working to reclaim grassland edges by:

- Removing invasive saplings (false acacia & Holm oak)

- Cutting back bramble & clematis

- Removing horseradish

- Litter picking

We will be meeting in Ham Lands, in the grassland located south of the Thames Young Mariners Club.

To access via Riverside Drive, use the Ham Lands entrance directly south of the Thames Young Mariners driveway. Continue along this road for 5 minutes until you see the TCV van parked on track.

To access from the towpath, walk north from Teddington Lock until you get to a large sloped path with a bench. Take this right/eastern turn and follow the path into the meadow. You should see the van parked on track.
