The madness of the mulching of the mighty Bruce Castle Oak, @ReNatureLdn's midweek evening foray into Tottenham
#BruceCastleOak
#ReNatureLdn

Volunteers surrounding the fence around the oak extending the mulch line two metres beyond the fence line.

And the last of the @ReNatureLdn crew making our way out of the ride at the end of the session. A really lovely day, with lovely people, and inevitably thirsty work.

Pulling our trolleys along the beaten track on the way back to base. Both sides of the ride having been cleared back.

More of today's volunteer crew with @ReNatureLdn in #WickWoodland.
#HackneyMarshes
#ReNatureLdn

Bashing and slashing and hacking at, with some even hand pulling, mostly bramble, nettle and cleavers. Then raking and depositing on and around the log pile refuges/hibernicula (without obstructung the entrances).
Right of frame - one of our standing log piles.

We have been managing this urban woodland for 20 years. This summer maintenance day will focus on clearing dominant species like nettles and brambles to promote greater floral diversity along a newly created woodland ride.

The new ride in Wick Woodland photographed in early moring mist

Dappled sunlight and a few (some more, some less) tired bodies.
We came, we sawed (just a little bit), we 'weeded' (those nettles and cleavers were 'in the wrong place') and we mulched, we built some more dead hedges and mulched them too, and we did some maintenance on the rope fences: Some of the aftermath…

Another (slightly wider shot) view in from the former desire line path between the Green Classroom and the unchristened 'wedge'

View from Martello Street of the Green Classrom area with some of the tidied up rope fences, plus the bee nesting post.

Dappled sunlight and a few bodies.

The before shot: nettle crowding out the native species hedgerow planting, due for the chip and drop treatment.

A distant glimpse of some of us in the green classroom area.

A pleasant day not too hot to work, and mostly in the shade and not the glade. Looking forward to fixing a rope fence and presumably playing with armfuls of nettle.

Quite the quantity of nettle and cleavers and most troublesome of course brambles has been bashed, slashed, strimmed and otherwise cleared today; and the material all placed atop the log pile hibernacula that border the ride.

Meanwhile the day has turned into strimmer versus human.

From the end of the day, view of one of the newly 'weeded' North Marsh Habitats Project pollinator gardens tucked away at the rear the pavilion

Another view of one of the newly 'weeded' North Marsh Habitats Project pollinator gardens tucked away at the rear the pavilion in the low sunlight

#ReNatureLdn volunteers setting off across the marshes for the pub at the end of the day, the (allegedly hybrid) black poplars to the left casting long shadows over the grass and onto the pavilion wall. Volunteers on foot, some pushing loaded up bicycles.

"A million on the streets don't seem to be enough…"

ps: note to selves, must remember to bring home zip ties to fix the trolley too.
#ReNatureLdn

Home from a half day volunteering in #LondonFields green classroom area, mulching doughnuts and fixing fenceposts after the ravages of curious small children and the dogwalkers' beasts. Cream crackered and drinking whisky in an early bath.
#ReNatureLdn

An uprooted sapling, its planting hole having been thoroughly dug up. Judging by the way the dirt is laying probably the work of an excitable dog. Heeled back in on Saturday to hopefully save its roots - this is what is depicted in the image. The job completed and much more besides, this afternoon. The rest of the displaced soil scraped back around it and trodden down, it's now surrounded by a doughnut of mulch.

From a post (on the Xitter) in February

This photo won’t win any awards, but it’s great to see a couple of Common Frogs in the pond garden on London Fields. Another species that’s here thanks to the biodiversity project.

And from this February, Ian's latest film showcasing some of our network and following up on its #renaturing outcomes on #HackneyMarshes and the Old River Lea.
