Tomorrow is the first of the Reedbed Clearance Days - each year we have to cut a proportion of the 29 hectares of reed bed across the reserve. This helps preserve and improve the habitat., and we need your help removing the reed by raking and transferring into builders sacks. If you would like the opportunity to get down off the visitor trail and into a reed bed then it would be great if you could make one, or both of the upcoming events.

The work is suitable for all levels of fitness, as even just holding the bags open to help fill is a great help.

If you would like to help let us know (email rainham.marshes@rspb.org.uk or phone 01708 899851)

Thursday 14 November and Thursday 21 November: 10am – 1pm
