We still have a few places left for our Volunteer Day this Sunday. We will be creating new water vole habitat as well as enhancing the existing wetland scrapes and marginal wetland areas – fun and muddy work so old clothes and wellies recommended. Please register using the link in the comments.

In June we led a three part walk along the Crane Valley Trail - almost 30 miles from the source to the Thames. The report on the @cvp-cranevalley.bsky.social website records the findings of these walks.

Great to see this underwater clip - large shoals of minnows, young dace and roach from the Tidal Crane next to Northcote Nature Reserve. Investigations led by NNR’s Astronaut Kawada with Friends of NNR, FORCE and ZSL revealing the importance of the Tidal Crane as a fish habitat.
