FRIENDS OF THE RIVER CRAY AT CRAYFORD*** REVISED SCHEDULE ***
Below is the revised schedule for our next few dates (issued 27/4), which involve litter removal and sometimes vegetation management.
The three sessions up to 5/7 are on Fridays and run from 10am to around 12.30 (may be 1pm with packing up). The meeting point is where Barnes Cray Road in Crayford meets Footpath 106 (graphic attached).
3rd May - postponed until 17th May (to avoid clash with River Cray Himalayan Balsam clearance event)
7th June
5th July - postponed until 19th July - (to avoid clash with River Cray Himalayan Balsam clearance event) - (hoildays allowing - I'll see who is available)
Our next session is going to involve undergrowth cutting so long sleeves needed!
2nd August - this session will be on the St Paul's Cray/ Sidcup border, at Ruxley Gravel Pits Nature Reserve, near Foots Cray Tesco's. We will be joining the North West Kent Countryside Partnership for a litter pick on a beautiful site with 3 lakes.
This site is not usually open to the public so it is a fantastic opportunity to see it. We hope to remove all litter from the site, a task started by volunteers in the winter but with water levels too high to finish it.
I am happy to walk you round any of the site you have not seen whilst litter picking. NWKCP is likely to offer lifts from Hall Place - details to follow.
For more details of the Himalayan Balsam work, please see the post of 21/4 on this page.
Best wishes
Sarah

Any volunteers who plan to meet us on site should let the member of staff leading the task know as soon as possible so that they can pack the correct number of tools and inform them of any task changes/delays that may occur.
If there are any updates or changes with the programme, we will update it regularly on the volunteer page on our website (www.nwkcp.org ). We will also contact the regular volunteers by phone if any last-minute changes to the location of the task happen.
Please remember to bring with you; suitable clothes for the weather conditions, a packed lunch and suitable footwear (we insist working boots with steel toecap and mid sole are worn at all times to comply with health and safety and insurance considerations). We will supply all other equipment, gloves and safety equipment and also hot drinks and biscuits throughout the day.
Each project will be led by a NWKCP member of staff who will be more than happy to answer any questions that you have throughout the day. A health and safety talk will also be given at the beginning of each project. If you are planning to come out on a project for the first time this month then please let us know beforehand which day that will be.
We write a risk assessment for each task day, and a copy of this will be brought to the site and available for you to read if you wish.
