Calling all explorers to cut through overgrowth ✂️🌿 Bramble and nettle bash near Gurnell!

About

Ealing Greenwayers, supported by Ealing Council Parks and Recreation, are inviting us to make a difference in the area between Greenford and Gurnell. There's a path along the line of the River Brent, which gets overgrown and littered.

Let's help make the walkway enjoyable for everyone - a litter blitz and bramble bash involved!

✔️ What is the task?

• Cutting back nettles, brambles and saplings from the edge of the path
• Litter pick, if you prefer

🕑 When?

• Sunday 21st July at 10:30 am

📍 Where?

• Brentside School on Ruislip Road East (not the gate on Greenford Avenue).
• Google maps

There will be brambles and nettles. Please come with long-sleeved tops and preferably trousers.
