If you have an interest in nature or environmental conservationism, then volunteer with LBCV on the first Sunday of any month doing practical conservation tasks in North East London’s largest open space, the Lea Valley Regional Park. We have done volunteering tasks from The East India Dock Basin on the Thames to Coppermill Fields in Waltham Abbey. These practical tasks range from woodland management, such as coppicing, the countryside skills of hedge laying and dead hedging to the removal of invasive vegetation and traditional Bramble Bashes
Everybody is welcome to volunteer with LBCV doing hands-on practical conservation tasks in North East London, on the first Sunday of the month. No experience is needed; we provide the training gloves and 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 is doing; a task will only be changed if the weather makes it unsafe to do the planned work.
From April 2017 we have a new meeting location at the Waterworks Centre, Lammas Road, London E10 7QB/7QT – we are no longer at Connaught Close but just around the corner.
Please arrive from 9:30am onwards at the WaterWorks Centre Lammas Road, off Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, London E10 7QB, for a 10am departure. The meeting place is the former golf centre across from the former Greyhound Public House on Lea Bridge Road. We usually walk and wheel barrow the tools to our task locations from the Waterworks Centre.
Bus numbers 48, 55 and 56 run along the Lea Bridge Road, alight by the Riding Centre. There is cycle and car parking available.
