Help improve the Wandle Trail in Earlsfield

The Wandle Trail is a shared pedestrian and cycling path running along the Wandle river from Wandsworth to Croydon.

The trail in Earlsfield is in need of some attention to make it wider and more user-friendly. On Sunday 15th September a working bee is being organised to clear the path.

Between 10am and 4pm volunteers are invited to attend to "cut, lop, hack and trim" the surrounding vegetation so the path can be widened. Lunch will be provided and all are welcome to attend as much or little of the day as they can spare.
