Richmond
ETNA-gain
A short and sweet group run this evening - we met at Tap Tavern in Richmond for a 3km jog to ETNA, one of our regular spots. Once there we were given the simple task of spreading wood chip around the new flower beds to get them ready for spring.
Mission accomplished a few of us ran back to Richmond and headed home.

Mulching the Sensory Garden at ETNA
Starting at The Tap Tavern at 18:45, Jack and Sam will be leading a 3km run to ETNA Community Centre.
For those that need it, The Tap Tavern have kindly agreed to let us use their upstairs venue (DJKs) as a secure locked area for bag drops every Monday evening.
ETNA is a welcoming and vibrant Community Centre in the heart of East Twickenham. The evening task includes laying bark mulch in the Sensory Garden as well as any general litterpicking or other garden duties that support is needed with. ETNA will provide all the tools/litter grabbers/bags etc required but we recommend bringing your own gloves and a headtorch if you have one.
Jack and Sam will be leading the run back to The Tap Tavern after the mission. And if anyone fancies a drink after, I'm sure there will be a few attendees happy to oblige!
Any support will be greatly appreciated by all involved!
Sam (Area Activator) will be available for any document checks if you're looking to get your DBS check completed.
First timers are more than welcome and this is a great task to see what we are all about!

Helping the Happy Ham Landers
This is a repeat community mission, which takes place every second Saturday of the month, from 10.00 - 11.30am.
The Friends of Ham Lands work with local naturalists and the Council’s ecology officer to identify work that needs doing in the Ham Lands area.
Tasks will vary from week to week: sometimes we will be clearing weeds, brambles or other undesirable plants, sometimes tackling Himalayan Balsam by the river (in the summer), sometimes it will be a litter pick.
All of these tasks are aimed at (1) maintaining the sheltered open grassland areas and open woodland, to improve the habitat for flora and fauna, and particularly for the local butterfly population and (2) maintaining some of the small footpaths through the scrub that are in danger of being overgrown, to ensure people can continue to enjoy the area.
Please wear working clothes including strong and waterproof footwear. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Friends of Ham Lands are not able to provide gloves and hi-vis vest. Please bring your own gardening gloves. If you have a hi-vis vest or jacket please wear it. If you have secateurs or saws please bring them.
Children are very welcome but need to be accompanied by an adult.
We meet at the corner of Croftsway and Riverside Drive https://goo.gl/maps/78E2thtb5J1f1rP2A
Time: 10.00 – 11.30am
