Please do check the weather forecast beforehand and dress appropriately for the conditions. Bring wellies with you if you can in case of rain or work in the river, if you're comfortable with this. Get in touch if you need us to provide a pair for you. Feel free to bring your own work gloves or we can provide these for you also. Please also bring water and a snack with you.

No experience is needed, we will show you what to do. If we need to make any adjustments so that you can attend we can and if you need more details or are having trouble booking please email sherbourne@wkwt.org.uk.

In case of event cancellation or extreme weather, we will email you. Please leave a contact phone number, too, so that we can contact you on the day, in the unlikely event of any last minute changes.

Please note that most of the work is physical and off paved paths. We make every effort to accommodate a variety of individual needs so that everyone can participate, but please let us know by email in advance so that we can help you to join in.
