Upcoming public events held at the Netherfield Lagoons Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.
If you would like to help with some of the management work come along in the morning. We meet inside the metal gates in the small car park. Park on Teal Close and walk along the Ouse Dyke to the footbridge. Follow the Willow Walk and you will arrive at the car park. Please be on time so that we can allocate tools to you.
Mapperley Golf Course Car Park (entrance at the end of Central Avenue, off Plains Road NG3 5LD). Start time: 9.30 am:
We meet in the car park. This session is all on dry land and involves pulling plants out – for those who have not done this before, it is easy work as the plants are small at the moment with shallow roots. Gloves are essential as there are nettles about as well (I will have a limited number of pairs).
The golf course is the main source of the seeds that spread down stream each year so we need to completely eradicate the balsam from here if we are to reach a permanent solution.
Together, we are really making a difference at the dyke and the wildlife is getting a chance to flourish.
Learn to identify ‘Browns’ and ‘Whites’. Meet at the footbridge onto the reserve.

Saturday 13th July, 2.30 pm at Teal Close (at the end where the road meets the dyke).
This involves walking in the dyke so if you intend to come and need waders, can you please let me know along with your shoe size so I can ensure we have the right sizes. Otherwise, you can help with litter picking (equipment supplied).
