Thursday 16th October 2025 - A double site visit was again on the cards for a fairly full team, this time taking place at Riverbank Way and Mill Green.

Starting at Riverbank Way the team ran a constant trolley service down the long path to the as near as possible trailer filling the trusted tarp bags with arising from a brushcut yesterday, with the team at full strength and a bit more brushcutting the team managed to get the whole length of site cut which has not always been the case.

Moving to the second of the sites, as the team in the van and trailer went to dispose of the 780kg of arisings the remaining force got to grips with the rarely worked on Mill Green, pushing back a margin of Bramble and shaggy looking grass from the pathway as well as clearing unsightly strewn litter and fly-tipping.

Wednesday 15th October - Whilst the team weren't caught on camera today, the result of their efforts at Sutton Ecology Centre and Carshalton Park are clear to see.

Tuesday 14th October 2025 - With a member of the Sunday squad moving into the Weekday team a productive day was had across two sites Therapia Lane Rough and Richmond Green.

Beginning the day at Therapia Lane, the main areas of open grassland got an ample cut whilst other members of the team set about pushing back fence-line Bramble, hunting down strewn litter on the site and removing another potion of the fly tipping that has been sitting for a good year or two.

Just before lunch the team were back on the road to Richmond Green, here the van departed to dump the gathered fly-tipping and collect the trailer whilst the volunteers continued the activities started last week, cutting down more of the Wingnut Tree regrowth and clearing predominantly Nettles from the bank.

Thursday 9th October 2025 - It was another fine day of Autumnal sunshine for the volunteers who were working at one of the newer areas on the teams rota, the Wandle Flood Storage area (located just opposite of Wandle Valley Wetland)

Looking a bit more vegetive than on the teams last brief outing here back in the early Spring, todays mission began with raking up of the pre-cut moisture absorbed grass cuttings and the brushcutting of a suitable area for a brand new compost heap.

After feeding the heap and it becoming the most towering edifice this volunteer had seen emerge from scratch, the team then shifted their sights to the footpath separating the two sites, clearing obstructing vegetation from the fence-line as well as a light brushcut to the Flood storage areas path side bank.
