Ham Mere is wetland area within Ferry Meadows which has become overgrown with willow and other scrub. We are holding community volunteering sessions on Saturdays in September and early October to help us retore this part of the Park. Come and join us!
Saturday 28 September 10am - 12pm
Saturday 5 October 10am-12pm
This is a great opportunity for the community to volunteer and support us with the conservation work required on Ham Mere, helping us to improve the wildlife habitat for wetland birds and waders. These sessions are open to anyone aged 12 and over (under 18s need to be supervised by a parent or guardian) and are FREE to attend.
Tasks include clearing the scrub, willow and overgrown vegetation in this area to expose the wetland habitat. Learn new skills, learn about our wildlife habitat and give back to nature whilst supporting the work of Nene Park Trust.
These sessions are FREE to attend but we would like people to book a place so we know who is coming.
