If you do walking through Ham Lands then you might well come across a few areas like this where scrub and some trees have been cutback. This is one such area that can be seen easily from Riverside Drive.
The good news is that this is all planned work and Richmond Council is working very closely with Friends of Ham Lands in defining what needs to be done and in helping the contractors to deliver to that plan. The state of some of the paths has meant that there is some clearance work still to do and Ham Lands will look better once this rubbish has gone.
Other good news is that a rare parsley has been sighted but the bad news is that some outbreaks of Japanese Knotweed have been found too.
There is plenty of work to keep contractors, specialists and volunteers busy for months to come.
