Litter Blitz in and around Little Britain Lake
About this Event
We will be teaming up with volunteers from Hillingdon Council, who will be focusing on invasive species clearance in the river. Our volunteer group will be supporting activities from the banks and surrounding areas only (no in-river work).

- litter picking around the lake and the surrounding footpaths.
- If time allows, we will make our way to tackle parts of the Slough Arm.

About Little Britain Lake:
One of the Colne Valley Parks gems, a scenic lake bordered by the Rivers Colne and Frays—perfect for walking, fishing, and picnicking. Its name first appeared on a map in 1819, possibly inspired by the Britannic shape of the surrounding land. The lake itself was created after gravel extraction in the early 1930s.
