Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
Clara, Sheila, Amy, Tony, and Sol made their way to Cookham to join Wild Cookham volunteers to remove weeds and overgrown trees from the pond.
All volunteers split into two teams. Tony and Clara joined the tree cutting team and helped clearing branches leaning over the water.
Amy and Sheila took to stearing the boat to try to measure the depth of the pond. They also helped to cut reeds in the middle of the pond.
Sol put on waders and helped to clear reeds from the bank. It was a muddy task to pull reeds one by one and not to get too deep into muddy waters. This helped to clear 2 meters from the bank. Other volunteers helped to take weeds to a compost pile.
All in all it was a sunny Saturday morning and everyone was in a good mood to spen time outdoors for a good cause.
WildCookham is a community group focused on discovering, celebrating and supporting biodiversity in Cookham, Berkshire, UK.
