Wildlife Loggery building next to the River
Creating a place for Wildlife to thrive
Location
Date and time
10:30 - 12:00Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.
We are helping the fantastic community group of The Wildlife Gardeners of Haggerston to create Loggeries along the River Lea river bank
These loggeries provide a refuge for small mammals, grass snakes and toads on Hackney Marshes. They have already seen a positive impact on wood mice on the Marshes and we will be commissioning a small mammal survey in the summer to understand with greater certainty what is needed to provide the best habitat for wildlife.
The loggeries involve driving in stakes, digging a hollow for small mammals, constructing a heavy hibernaculum from logs, covering this in woodchip and then wrapping in stock-proof fencing wire - multiple jobs for people to experience.
Meeting Gideon by the Hackney Marshes pavilion who will have all the materials needed to build the Loggery on the day.
How are you getting there?

Hi Joel, I've just cancelled my spot for this as I'm unlikely to be able to get there until 11:15am. Let me know if you still think its worth joining at that point, and I can reregister.
Unfortunately with only 1 person signed up we are unable to complete the task. So sadly we will have to cancel the session.
Apologies
