Put the kettle on, make a cuppa, take off your shoes and socks and paddle down the river with me as I embrace working as a volunteer with my local river Conservation Trust. Sometimes it might get a bit muddy as I'll be digging and growing veg with the Garden Share scheme too.

River Clean Up!
I went out on a river clean up today and loved it! I got to wear waders and go out in the river to attempt to remove rubbish and traffic cones from a pile of trees that are caught across the river. Unfortunately we couldn't get all the rubbish as the small channel that the river can still flow through had got very deep.
It's been on the council's list since Christmas. If it's still there in the spring I'd love to get a group of people out there to at least clear some of the branches and trees that are caught up against the original fallen tree. It'll only take another bad winter and it'll be completely blocked! The clean up effort was to get the area ready for an event this Saturday.
