Drop in Volunteer (Feildes Weir Lock Vegetation Cutback)

**Join us at Feildes Weir Lock on Tuesday 30th September @ 10:30am for a vegetation cutback.**

There are a number of poplar tree saplings which are beginning to establish around the lock, come along and help us to remove these before a forest grows!

We will meet at Feildes Weir Lock for a briefing at 10:30am (what3words ///lazy.supply.robot). If you are searching on google maps look for Fieldes Weir Lock, CM19 5EX.

**How to get there.**
Feildes Weir Lock is a 13 minute walk from Rye House Station. There is very limited parking at the end of Rattys Lane (EN11 0RF). Therefore, if you are arriving by car, I would advise parking and walking, one option is Rye House Car Park (EN11 0EQ).

Please note there are no Welfare Facilities at Feildes Weir Lock.

All tools and equipment will be provided. Please wear sturdy shoes and suitable clothing for the weather. There will be a chance for a tea/coffee and a biscuit too but please bring your lunch.

This event is a great opportunity to get involved, meet new people and make a difference.

Why we want you

The Drop-in Role is all about getting a taste of volunteering at the Trust, joining us at your leisure to take part in open in one of our Welcome Sessions, Let’s volunteering opportunities or, if you’re joining us for the first time, this would be a great opportunity for you to get involved.

We have a host of easy to access volunteer opportunities that will help to make a huge impact to your local canal but without having to.

What you will be doing

  • One-off taster events including our Welcome Sessions
  • Litter Picking
  • Let’s activities on the water and on the towpath
  • When you register as a volunteer, we will ask you about any unspent convictions which you need to declare and risk assess these as needs be.

    • The skills you need

  • This role is specifically planned without a need for skills or training. As a result of joining it, you’ll find out about other roles where training may either be needed or can be given to help build your skills. No formal skills required

    • What's in it for you

  • The opportunity to decide if volunteering with the Trust is the right place for you as these activities in this role are typically short and one-off.
