Calling all explorers to cut through overgrowth ✂️🌿 Bramble and nettle bash near Gurnell!

About

Ealing Greenwayers, supported by Ealing Council Parks and Recreation, are inviting us to make a difference in the area between Greenford and Gurnell. There's a path along the line of the River Brent, which gets overgrown and littered.

Let's help make the walkway enjoyable for everyone - a litter blitz and bramble bash involved!

This task will also support our friends from Clean Up River Brent as we will clear the access to the river bank for them to remove the invasive Himalayan balsam!
