River clean-up: what's been achieved?



On Sunday 24 April, we worked our way through two the River Ravensbourne from the curly bridge to the southern boundary of the Fields.  We removed various large objects and some 30 black bags worth of cans, bottles and plastic rubbish.  We also cleared the 'Turning Tree' of accumulated debris so that it is once again functioning as it should.  Thanks as ever to Thames 21 for leading the event and supplying all the kit.  Thanks also to the nine children who joined in and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.  All-in-all a worthwhile, sociable and rewarding few hours.
