Who this task will support
Braywick Nature Centre
Working in partnership with Groundwork South, Braywick Nature Centre acts as a community hub to promote awareness of the natural environment with events, walks and talks across the borough, and through educational sessions for school, youth and other groups. The service also offers support for local conservation and amenity groups. The nature centre houses displays and exhibitions on wildlife, sustainability and local history, and has a large classroom for use by schools and other groups and is only open to the public when events are taking place. The nature centre is situated in an old stable block, originally part of the estate belonging to Braywick Lodge. The 19th century mansion house was demolished in 1969, however the stables were refurbished in 1989 to provide a centre for environmental activities in the borough.

This session promises a mucky but fun workout in the beautiful setting of the Braywick Nature Reserve. The task is to help shovel accumulated sludge out of the pond, helping to maintain the area as a haven for wildlife. The pond will be partially drained to facilitate the work and we will aim to disrupt its inhabitants as little as possible.

Meet Ranger Tom and the rest of the group at the Braywick Nature Centre next to Hibbert Road car park at what3words location https://w3w.co/lungs.zeal.tour. Together we will take a short walk to the pond area, what3words location https://w3w.co/turned.firmly.topic.

Bring/wear wellies and gardening gloves if possible and be prepared to get muddy. Waders will also be available.
