97 volunteers came out and gave their 4 hours at Russian Dock Woodlands on Thursday. Volunteers helped dig out and remove bramble along a ditch and clear rubbish from the surrounding areas. Four hours by each volunteer helped native wildflowers to recolonise and help the birds, bees, and butterflies of the area. Folks who spend time in the Woodlands will now be able to plant lots of nice bulbs and plants.
Russia Dock Woodland, once known as the Grand Surrey Inner Dock, was created in 1980. Carved out of a former dock basin, the Woodland is a recreational space, which provides the local community who live and work nearby the opportunity to escape the busy streets and enjoy the haven of green space.
Volunteers, you got absolutely loads done and our partner was extremely happy with everything! Thank you so much. It really will make a difference to the park. So we'll see you at the Royal Albert Hall on the 25th September, hope you have an amazing time - you earned it!!
