Description.
The Chesham Environmental Group had a very successful morning carrying out vital improvements to the River Chess as it flows through Meades Water Gardens. We managed to improve its flow, create river viewing points and cutback overhanging vegetation. We also carried out a litter pick of both the river and the surrounding area.
On Sunday 20 May the Environmental Group cleared vegetation and removed rubbish from one of the important tributaries to the River Chess. This work will help ensure that the town doesn’t get flooded in the event of heavy rain.
Part of Chesham Cemetery is a rare example of unimproved chalk grassland. Our latest work party strimmed, cleared the area and prepared for seeding all to encourage more wildflowers.
Chesham Environmental Group spent 2 ½ hours clearing out the stretch of the Vale Brook that runs next to Topps Tiles on Townsend Road. We took an incredible amount of junk and green waste off the site, cleared out the river bed and made an incredible difference to the site! A huge thank you to Topps Tiles for letting us take over one of the parking spaces outside their store to pile up all the rubbish.
Another huge thank you to Wickes who donated 3 massive jumbo bags for us to move all the green waste. And the biggest thank you to the trusty band of volunteers that turned up and made such a huge difference. The CDC waste team will collect and dispose of all the junk, so all we need now is some rainfall to get the River flowing.
There’ll be more opportunities to make Chesham a better place to live – feel free to come and join us! See our events page for more information.
